Concerts

There are few artists I truly love seeing live and don't mind seeing over and over again. Here's my list complete with a mini-review and some reccomended tunes, feel free to share yours!

The list:
Butch Walker - FUN, worth the entire show, awesome live rendition of covers and originals. I recommend "Don't Move" "Maybe it's just me" "Mixtape" and "Atlanta"
Justin Nozuka - beautiful experience, beautiful songs, beautiful voice. I recommend "Golden Train" "Criminal" "Oh Mama"
Gavin Degraw - engaging and wonderful! Humble and awesome... I recommend "We Belong Together" "I don't wanna be" and "Chariot"
Switchfoot - always a pleasure. I recommend "I dare you to move" "On Fire" and "This is your life" among so many others

Honorable mentions: 
Quietdrive - I've seen them about ten times...they're great! And local! I'm always impressed but am now too old to blend in with their fan base.Who am I kidding, I'll see you again.
Britney Spears - that was a spectacular show and I'd love to see her again, but maybe not for $60+ per ticket again
Backstreet Boys - that trip down memory lane was excellent. I enjoyed it.
John Legend - the man sounds as good live as he does recorded, I couldn't tell the difference. Being THAT GOOD combined with the fact this his shows continually get sold out makes me less interested.

Who I want to see:
Matt Morris - I'm really liking most of the songs I've heard from Matt Morris. Try "Bloodline"
The Fray - Someday. I've wanted to see them since they were  real low key, playing at The Varsity Theatre for $8. I nearly went to this concert alone because I wanted to see them so much. Then.. they blew up. My favorites are "I'll look after you" and "You found me"
Jazmin Sullivan - Love her music and I bet she's awesome live. I recommend "Hurricane" "Bust your windows"
