Concert: Sam Smith

December 2nd, 2013

Sam Smith at The Troubadour

Drove all the way from San Diego up to LA to see this guy! Quite an amazing singer. The way he can express emotions through his voice and singing is amazing. Seriously got chills when he sang Nirvana. Really love how intimate The Troubadour is. I remember when Judy and I saw Sara Bareilles and Maroon 5 there when we were either freshman or sophomores at UCLA. So long ago!

Concert: Jessie Ware

Concert: Jessie Ware at The Observatory OC

August 10, 2013

I posted this originally without saying anything about the concert because I mostly wanted the pictures and video up but I definitely wanted to come back on and say that it was an amazing concert. We actually saw Jessie Ware at Coachella and even though we were in the front row, it just wasn't the same. The Observatory is a really interesting venue. They had two different shows going on that night. The sound quality I would say is not as good as the Belly Up Tavern but the venue itself is similar in that it's a small, intimate venue.

The show itself was great. She has definitely grown as a performer and her voice sounded much smoother than at Coachella (possibly due to the weather conditions?). She's so funny :) and we thoroughly enjoyed the show. Wish we could meet her! I'm pretty sure she's a hoot!
