Speedrun of the Next Two Weeks in Tucson!

Hello!

I’m getting ready to leave the country!

I’m not leaving permanently (yet), but I should be back in two weeks. For now, I’m going to compile the shows for next week into this post!

However, the blog is going to be a bit abridged because the process is a bit time consuming.

The process:

  • I find the show
  • I look at all artists Instagram’s/any social media
  • I listen to any music they have on hand ( recording, streaming, etc)
  • I do enough surgery on my brain to figure out how to describe them in a single sentence or two
  • I find the song that best describes who they are to a person that has probably never in their life heard them before.
  • I see where the show would align with one of the categories I have.

I sincerely don’t want to miscategorize the show, or completely misinterpret an artists work. So because of the time crunch I’m kind of in, I will have to pass on categorizing the shows or describing the artists. I’ll make it up to you all! I swear!

However, I definitely have some shows that peaked my interest, so I am going to list them here!

Okay I’m doing this at my actual job right now so I gotta rush a little.
