Live Music Q2 2022


Co-a-chell-a! After two years of pandemic cancellations, Coachella finally returned. Marking my 11th return to the festival, it was also the first Coachella for our girls, now 14. 

And I'm definitely making up for lost live music time, with 19 shows this quarter (as compared to 9 last quarter). On this pace, 2022 will be a personal live music record-breaker. We shall see! 

Favorites in bold. Seeing the incomparable Kate Bush cover band, Baby Bushka, was definitely a highlight.
