Recent Concerts
98 Degrees - 2018 Christmas Tour
The 98 Degrees 2018 Christmas Tour was my third 98 Degrees concert. It was my first VIP so I got to meet Nick, Justin, Jeff and Drew and listen in the soundcheck and do Q&A. On top of that, I ended up in the front row and had an absolute blast! The boys’ beautiful melodies ignited the holiday spirit!
Darren Hayes - Do You Remember? Tour
Savage Garden played a huge soundtrack of my junior high days in the late 1990s/early 2000s. So when Darren announced he was finally going back on his solo tour with added US tour dates, I knew I had to see Darren perform live.
2022 Pop2000 Tour
The Pop2000 Tour was definitely one of my favorite concerts in 2022. The concert brought me back to the MTV/TRL nostalgia. I was ecstatic to spend time with Brad Fischetti of LFO and be his watergirl for the night. I was especially happy to meet Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC and hang out with the O-Town Boys.
A Boyband Mardi Gras
This past February, I traveled to New Orleans for the first time. The Big Easy was celebrating Mardi Gras. My boybanders Ryan Cabrera, 98 Degrees, O-Town, and All-4-One were the headliners of the Krewe of Orpheus Ball. Joey Fatone and Darren Criss were serving as the Monarchs.
NKOTB, Boyz II Men & 98 Degrees - The Package Tour
I was absolutely ecstatic when New Kids On The Block announced the 2013 Package Tour with Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees. I am a big fan of 98 Degrees and never got to see them during the late 1990s/early 2000s. This was my first 98 degrees and Boyz II Men concert and second NKOTB concert.
Backstreet Boys - 2019 DNA Tour
The 2019 DNA Tour is my first Backstreet Boys concert. As readers probably know me, I am team NSYNC (JC Chasez all the way!). My friends are team BSB and really wanted me to go with them. I ended up having a blast and learned four important lessons!
In Real Life - for u Tour
I knew In Real Life (IRL) from the reality competition show, BoyBand and have been following the group ever since. In Real Life comprised of Chance Perez, Sergio Calderon, Drew Ramos, Conor Michael Smith and Brady Tutton. Sadly, IRL broke up because each member wanted to pursue solo projects. I am glad I was lucky enough to see IRL perform live once.
John Legend - The Bigger Love Tour
The Bigger Love Tour was my first John Legend’s concert and definitely will NOT be my last! I enjoyed every minute of this concert. John is a definite showman and knows how to deliver a performance.
BBMAK Back Here Tour
I was so excited when BBMAK announced their US reunion tour in 2019 and one of their stops was Boston! I knew I had to be there.
Bell Biv Devoe Unity Concert Benefit
I first discovered Bell Biv Devoe (BBD) after I watched the New Edition miniseries on BET. And I became an even bigger fan after seeing BBD live in Boston.
NKOTB 2008 Reunion Tour
When New Kids On The Block announced their reunion tour, I knew I had to go! And the concert exceed my expectations!
Interview with Phil Firetog
On November 8th, Firetog Trio and Company released their latest single, “What You’re Good For”. Prior to the single release, I had the opportunity to chat with Phil about his latest project and other music-related matters.
