Concerts

On Tuesday May 10, I attended a concert by the rock band, Dorothy at The Echo. The band lineup included: Dorothy Martin(vocals), Mark Jackson(guitar), Gregg Cash (bass), Zac Morris (Drums). Unfortunately, I was only able to hear two original songs of their own creation: “Missile” and “After Midnight”. Both songs were met with enthusiastic applause and praise. I was actually anxious to see them perform live as they were mentioned in Rolling Stone magazine as a promising new band and because I had…

What can I say besides what an amazing experience? As I basically stumbled into the Verizon hall trying to seem as prim and proper as possible I began to feel the intensity of what I was going to experience. As the performers tuned their instruments, and were prepping to begin their performance I felt a multitude of different emotions and trained to maintain my composure because I actually became somewhat excited in anticipation. I never really realize how massive the areas I am are until I…

The captivating sounds of drums, and passionate voices singing, as I walked into the Alaskan Airlines Arena, will forever be embedded into my memory. My words will never give this music its rightful justice. Therefore, I highly recommend that everyone, at least once, attend a Powwow, and experience this incredible music for themselves. Although this was a class assignment, my wife and children came along with me. I thought it was a good way for us to enhance our cultural awareness, and…

When I started the search for an interesting subject to do my fieldwork on, I found it a challenge to overcome scheduling obstacles and still find something that would suit my fancy. After I finally found an event, I thought about what my topic would be and became extremely overwhelmed when searching for a theme that is intriguing while also giving a new perspective to what some would call basic observations of a live performance. With that said, I found it immensely relieving when I began to…

On Thursday night I got the chance to see to Taylor Swift live for the second time (I can feel you judging, judgey people - She's amazing & the show is incredible - except for the part where she didn't play Wonderland, but we don't need to talk about that and I'm not even sorry for going.) but each time I see her or any live show I'm left in absolute awe of what I've just experienced, and after experiencing this particular show it got me thinking about what live music is for me and the feeling…

Concert Critique I went to The Quapaw String Quartet concert Friday, March 23 that was in Bevens Music Room of Brown Chapel at 7:30 pm., which was a Dan C. and Sidney West Endowed Concert. I really enjoyed this concert because the performers are always magnificent, and they are great on conveying the underlying message or feeling of the pieces they play. The performers played pieces from the Classical and Romantic period, and they were in chamber music pieces because the instruments that the…

A tour manager should have organization, interpersonal skills, listening skills, problem-solving skills, business skills, creativity, and knowledge of sound systems (Study.com, n.d.) All of these skills are important to have, but there are some that should be emphasized. Therefore, a tour manager must have excellent interpersonal skills. He/she must be able to communicate well to each client, worker, or potential contact. He/she must also be able to multi-task and be able to quickly solve…

Both of these concerts are undeniably different in atmosphere, sound, and eloquence; however, they do have one common factor. This common factor is the musicality they bring to their audience as well as the joy that is exuberated throughout the performance. The first virtual concert I watched entitled “Slatkin Conducts Appalachian Spring” was not a traditional band much like the other virtual concert entitled “Dr. Ralph Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys”. Appalachian Spring started out soft…
