We all need this. This band is so good. We went and saw them in Biloxi, MS. I used to record and photograph concerts but I was fully present there. Yes, I caught a few images to rerun later but there was a difference to the energy. Some of it was them and some of it was the crowd and of course Lisa too.
I’d say it was the best live performance I’ve attended. Was it because they are that good or because I was fully present in the moment experiencing nothing other than what it was? Maybe a bit of both!
Go down the SOL Rabbit Hole. You won’t be disappointed!
