A guest for Ben Folds · Sat, 06 Jun 2015
I've waited YEARS for the opportunity to see Ben Folds perform Live. All that build up gave me incredibly high expectations. Little did I know that the actual show would far exceed all of these expectations. The collaboration between the artist and orchestra was remarkable and not only has my love for Ben Folds grown, but I have a new appreciation for the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra as well. Truly grateful for the experience you shared with us all. Thanks to everyone involved!
A guest for Sufjan Stevens · Fri, 24 Apr 2015
One of the greatest concerts I've ever been too. Deeply personal but at the same time was obvious that Sufjan wanted everyone to feel like they were a part of the performance. Also the entire performance was extremely polished...delivery of songs, lighting, segways between tracks. A wonderful experience that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone involved.
A guest for Frankie Valli · Sat, 11 Apr 2015
Great concert. Frankie and his crew were awesome. I had the pleasure to meet Frankie backstage and what a great guy!!
A guest for Straight No Chaser · Sun, 14 Dec 2014
This was my 3rd time seeing them in concert and was by far the best show. SNC never disappoints. I'm hoping to catch their show on April 11th in Waukegan since it's my anniversary weekend.

A guest for Jackson Browne · Tue, 14 Oct 2014
Loved the chatting with the audience. A little more old stuff is preferred and this is the second time I've seen him in a year - would love to hear The Load Out.

A guest for The Australian Pink Floyd Show · Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Went to the Australian Pink Floyd concert last night and had a great time! This was my 2nd time seeing the group and they were awesome again! The music was fantastic and the laser show just blew us away!! I'm already looking forward to their next visit to Chicago.
