Last Friday I got a chance to attend the single greatest concert of my life thus far.. The Hotel Cafe Tour! Featuring…

Cary Brothers, Ingrid Michaelson, Greg Laswell, Sara Bareilles, and Joshua Radin!! Five of the most amazing, talented artists in the music industry. I would have been perfectly happy to see any ONE of these guys perform, but to be able to experience them all in one night was more than I could have hoped for. Although I didn’t get to hear my favorite song of any of these artists - Radin’s Sundrenched World - I did get to hear a ton of my other favorites, including Love Song, Bottle It Up, Fairytale, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Way I Am, Breakable, Gravity (which I bawled like a baby all the way through) and so many others.
The highlight of the night was Ingrid Michaelson’s encore, where she played random TV theme show songs as suggested by the audience, including Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Happy Days, Golden Girls, and the Facts of Life.
I’ll leave you with a clip of the last song of the night.. It was a really special moment, with everyone singing along and Ingrid harmonizing with the audience. If the concert comes to a city near you, be sure to grab some tickets, if you still can - you won’t regret it!

Thanks also to the glorious and talented Jason Huang for having dinner with me beforehand! He will also be helping me out with Drew & Sarah’s wedding in a couple of weeks, so be sure to stay tuned for the photos!

SO JEALOUS! i don’t think the same artists will be in so cal.. awww boo!
Love the Hotel Cafe Tour. u gotta check out AM’s duets project “Side By Side” he did with a bunch of them. My current favorite– Hear Me Sing with Buddy.
Dang, I’m jealous!! I love all those artist! I totally missed the Hotel Cafe show I was planning on going to last year because I got food poisoning!
I noticed your comment on Fred Egan’s page and checked out your site. I’m an Aggie too…c/o ‘98….and I cannot say enough good things about HCT. I got to see them in Houston on the Saturday night after, and I agree, the most amazing show!!! Love love love them…I put the HCT myspace page on and just listen over and over again. Your photos are so great, and I’m totally jealous that you found what you want to do and love right out of A&M. Almost 10 years out of college and I’m just now realizing what I want to do…it will take me a while to get where you’re at, but I’ll be working hard!
