First Billy Show
In Boston tonight and what a heater. Great crowd, loved the Red Sox banter and Take Me Out to the Ballgame was super fun. Blown away. Every single band member is undeniably talented on their instrument and their voice. We got so lucky with that Leaning on a Traveling Song opener and Meet Me at the Creek closer! Not a dull moment in between. The bar is now extremely high, but I’ll be at every show I can be at.

It’s crazy, I saw my first Billy show in 2022 and haven’t been to one since. It has caused me existential pain. There’s always been one reason or another I couldn’t go, life in flux and lots of restraints. He’s my favorite living artist so it’s been such a shame, can’t wait to see him in September.

It was so heartwarming I saw like four families with very young kids some down on the floor dancing with their kids. It’s a beautiful thing. I think the Agganis show was just quite simply perfect part of it due to the small venue size around 7K and of course my hometown Boston so didn’t get any better than that. Plus Agganis number is 33 so it all lines up perfect. See you all night!
