#6 Attend Numerous Concerts

Well our second concert of the year was at the Workplay Theater in Birmingham. We saw The Civil Wars w/ Lucy Schwartz. What I love about the Workplay Theater is that you are more than likely going to have a run in with the performers. Josh waved enthusiastically at John Paul White upon arrival to the theater. I had quite the awkward run in with Lucy Schwartz. I know one of her songs and that's about it. I totally dorked it up! i.e. the following photo. She is like 6'5 and had to double over to take a photo with Marisa and me.

She is a "loopist" meaning she creates small sections of sound and plays it continuously while adding additional small sections to it. The machine is called a "looper" and the process of doing this is called "looping". Now that I have bestowed upon you this very important information, The Civil Wars......

If you have never heard of The Civil Wars, you should definitely check them out. They actually have the #1 album on iTunes at this very moment.  I love how they are completely stripped down to an acoustic guitar, little bit of piano, and vocals. Oh and the vocals are absolutely amazing!

 Needless to say we had a great time. #6 is off to a good start this year. We have seen two concerts in two months and have another one lined up for April.....The Avett Brothers and Band of Horses!! HEY-OOO! We are stoked!
