Wisdom hasn't found me yet.

I just realized that I really haven't talked much about my music taste on my blog. So I want to tell you all about my Monday night. Rachael and I went to see Ingrid Michaelson and it was an incredible night! If you don't know who she is, you should definitely give her a listen! Ingrid has really got me through some very dark days. Her lyrics have spoken to me in such a profound, inspiring way! "All you can do is keep breathing."

The highlight of the night was actually discovering and falling in love with a new band. The Guggenheim Grotto opened for Ingrid and they are AMAZING. They are two guys from Ireland and played an acoustic set. We met them, got autographs and took this picture.

TGG

They were so nice! I love Irish accents! We bought their cds and I haven't stopped listening all week! They have the most relaxing sound and are lyrical geniuses. I love poetic, metaphorical lyrics.

So the show was amazing. I was so relaxed and had the best time! Ingrid was hilarious, it was like a mix between stand up and a concert. She had all sorts of funny stories and really interacted with the crowd. I wish I could have met her so I could have told her how truly inspiring her words are!

So there you have it. A sneak peek into my music loving mind. I probably have 20 favorite bands because I can never narrow it down to one! Ingrid is a list topper and now so it The Guggenheim Grotto. I'm sure you will hear more of my music tastes in the future. You should definitely check out this Irish band too, if you like acoustic music, you won't regret giving them a listen!
