For those of you who know me, I love Bumbershoot. Well, I love it when I get to go on a day packed with a bunch of great artists and musicians. This year was the most impressive to me so far. Too many good things happening in one day. I was there early and stayed late, never leaving the grounds. And it was back to back excitement! So here is my Sunday experience: the feelings I felt as told by my train of thought.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Oh my goodness this woman is awesome. She never stops being awesome. She will always be awesome. Ditto for the Dap Kings. They command the whole crowd with every song and can even have them dance a handful of dances from the 60s like it was no thing! I love watching them live. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings never disappoint.

Tony Bennett
This man sings with so much heart, saying that he is moving to watch is an understatement. The Key Arena was almost full to the rafters and everyone was hanging off of his every word. A standing ovation thanked him at the end of every song. I am brought to tears from this experience. He is all heart. He is grateful for his fans. He is old fashioned and we don't mind it either.

Lee Fields and the Expressions
Beautiful voice. This man is dope. He has crazy charm and emotion for every song he sings. He loves his crowd, and he loves ladies. Tall ones, short ones, big ones, small ones, white ones, black ones, brown ones, ALL ones.

Big Sean
Mad energy. Key arena was packed to the rafters. Everyone was jumping, chanting, and dancing on queue! The crowd loves Big Sean and if this is just the beginning of his career, he has the potential of being the biggest up and coming rapper ever. No joke.

Mac miller
Wow... He sure can attract a crowd. We didn't stick around to see this turn into even more of a train wreck.

Bumbershoot After Dark
The DJ just mixed that horrible techno song I don't like into a dubstep beat. Really? That's how you make me like a hated song LESS.
Also I felt he was saying to himself "Hey, let's mix video game tracks into techno beats. Yeah, that'll sound so retro. Like a 1996 rave!" It was not good.

Okay, so I was a bit tired by that last review because it was about 11pm. The most fun at that event was watching the security guard deal with peeps doing it behind the curtains and men as they walk into the wrong restroom. Really, we had a great time. Other than shows, the art exhibits (namely Christopher Hoff's), the New Girl promo van, the JoeTv spare tire and the place called the Record Store were awesome! I already can't wait for next year!
