The Beginning of the Summer of Concerts

Miranda and I typically go to concerts for bands that we follow on a semi regular basis. Since moving to Dallas we have frequented Billy Bob's, Gilley's and a few other smaller venues to see groups like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers Band, etc. For some reason this summer, the stars have aligned just right and there are tons of good concerts that we have wanted to go to. Tom Petty, Jimmy Buffett, Cross Canadian Ragweed, among others.

Last night was the first concert in what appears to be a long streatch of summer concerts for us. We went to the Dallas House of Blues to see the Eli Young Band. They blend rock with a slight tinge of country music to produce a quite entertaining set. Neither of us had ever been to the House of Blues before. It was probably the nicest concert venue that I have ever been to. Small venue, balcony seating overlooking the stage, well decorated, etc. We had a fun time, but are paying for it today with ringing ears. It should be a fun and musical summer, but we might need to invest in some earplugs.
