Usher - Past, Present and Future Tour

Usher’s “Past, Present and Future” Tour is my first Usher concert. Despite buying the ticket last minute, I still got a great seat. The show was a celebration of Usher's 30 year long career. It was 2 hours of non-stop action. Usher did not disappoint! He still got that smooth swagger. I loved every minute of it.

Joey Fatone & AJ McLean’s Legendary Night

In January 2024, NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boy’s AJ McLean announced they will embark on a tour together across America, entitled “Joey Fatone & AJ McLean - A Legendary Night”. Originally, the tour only included nine shows on the East Coast and West Coast.As a result of the high demand, the tour unsurprisingly almost sold out within a week of ticket sales. They ended up adding more dates and shows. My friend and I were lucky enough to score VIP tickets to the sold out Boston show.

A Boy Band Christmas - An Evening of Holiday & Hits

With the holidays approaching, I can’t help but reminisce about the amazing two days of the Boy Band Christmas concert last year. The Boy Band Christmas concert was a 12 US City Tour with an all-star line-up - Justin Jeffre, Jeff Timmons, and Drew Lachey of 98 Degrees, Jamie Jones of All-4-One, Erik-Michael Estrada of O-Town, and Ryan Cabrera.

The Pop2000 Tour Pops into Portland

Summertime means the Pop2000 Tour is in full force! The last time I was at the Pop2000 Tour was September 2022 in Stamford, CT. What made the 2023 tour extra special was BBMAK being added to the lineup. I haven't seen BBMAK since 2018. I was going to see them in 2020 before the pandemic shut everything down. In addition to BBMAK, the tour includes O-Town, LFO, and Ryan Cabrera. Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC returns as host.

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!

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.
