I remember the first song I knew: "Drift Away," covered by Uncle Kracker. I'm unsure why that stuck with 5-year-old me, but it did. After that, I grew up playing Guitar Hero, making trips to the library to rent CDs, playing clarinet in my school band, and asking for iTunes gift cards for birthdays. Now I see at least one concert a month, and I stream music daily. Concert photography is an area I'm excitedly breaking into. Below are some photos of my favorite local artists I've befriended.
