Live Show - Andrew Belle at Anthology in San Diego, CA
It's July, and I'm on a trip for work, so that must mean one thing - there's an Andrew Belle show I have to see! About a year and a half or so ago, I was fortunate enough to run across Andrew's music through the website Brite Revolution (which is now FREE, by the way if you didn't know). A few months later, I traveled to Nashville for work, so of course I figured I needed to catch some live shows. A friend of mine was playing with Andrew at the Basement for Nashville New Faces Night, so I figured I'd swing on over and see if this guy was as good in person as he was in studio. Boy, was I blown away! It's always a treat to find artists that are actually better live, even when you love everything they've recorded. Since then, Andrew was named the "Best New Arist" out of Chicago via MTV2, has had several songs featured on the show Grey's Anatomy, has toured with Ten Out of Tenn Vol 3, TOT Vol 2 Christmas, as well as many other artists around the country. It was such a treat to see that he would be playing in San Diego the one night I was there, and at such a great venue.

When I first went to buy tickets for Andrew Belle's show at Anthology in San Diego, I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself into. Most of the tickets at Anthology come with a requirement that you spend at least $15 on food and drinks, and the reservations are made several hours before the show starts. It was a little pricier than where I normally eat, but the food was absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was unlike any other venue I've ever set foot in, and the huge open dining area and a booth so close to the stage made the night one I will remember for a long time.

Always a pleasure! And I'd like to point out that I'm in 3-4" heels, and I'm still shorter... haha. |
