Gigs + Festivals

I absolutely LOVE attending concerts and festivals. Live music and various festivals is what I love to splurge on! Here is a collection of gig, concert, and festival recaps and reviews from various events I’ve attended both in the USA and Europe

Buku, I’ll Miss You: A Review of Buku Festival 2014

Buku Music + Arts Project 2014

Today, I sit in my desk at work. A year ago, however, I was on my way to New Orleans for BUKU Music + Arts Project 2014, a 2-day music festival with an EDM, hip-hop, and indie pop heavy lineup.

Arctic Monkeys in Baton Rouge, LA

I had heard a little bit of their new album “Hummingbird.” But, I was more familiar with their older one, “Gorilla Manor.”
