2024 Concerts

A new year means new concert tours. Every year my friends and I like to go to a few concerts, and this year won’t be any different. Last year I got to see two of my favorite artists, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, so I am not sure how I am going to top that this year.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto.

And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.

My friends and I decided to convene in Colorado because of the opening act; Swift’s openers vary city to city, and Denver was the final of a mere handful of shows MUNA, one of our favorite bands, joined Swift for.

James Taylor The Mann

I am not a music buff by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, almost everyone who knows me makes fun of me for my limited amount of music knowledge (especially my daughter!). I know which songs sound good to me and which ones I like. I do not know who most of the artists are. In fact, I could probably list all of the ones I know on one hand — maybe two, maybe!
