My review of @Juanes - LOUD and Unplugged @BayouMusicCtr, 6/8/2013 http://t.co/2T0GxO4Lma via @hprocksoff (photos by @BreakfastOnTour) Loving this opener. Not sure who it is, but it's great. Girl and guy acoustic, with the girl singing. Todo en Español. Sucks showing up on the job early. I'm bored. At least Hard Rock Cafe is jamming some Whitey Ford.
Our primary goals are to spread the word about artists that we love and to encourage more people to experience the joys of live music events. We also want to promote musical exploration - don't just listen to what the blogosphere tells you to listen to, get out there and discover new artists yourself! There's a wealth of talent out there waiting for you to lend them an ear.
