BBMak Back In Boston
BBMAK returned to Boston and delivered a fully excellent show! The setlist was a combination of their albums, “Sooner or Later”, “Into Your Head”, and “Powerstation”. Just a fantastic night of great music!
O-Town - Lines & Circles 10th Anniversary Show
In 2024, O-Town commemorated a significant milestone of their career, the 10th anniversary of their Lines & Circles Album. This album reunited the band as a four piece group. The Boston show was a celebration of that album and the band.
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.
Westlife’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
After 25 years, Westlife, the popular Irish boyband, made my wildest dreams come true. The group announced they would finally come to North America as part of their Wild Dreams World Tour. Stops included Boston and NYC! As a devoted Westlife fan, I was ecstatic!
S Club - Good Times Tour
After more than 20 years, S Club finally embarked on their first North American tour. I grew up on S Club - watching their TV shows, music videos, and listening to their music. I was absolutely ecstatic when S Club announced their tour dates included a Boston show.
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!
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.
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.
