I created Where The Bands Are in 2016. It combines my love of writing and music. This blog features a variety of my writing. From concert experiences to the latest songs on Alt Nation (Sirius XM).

I’ve written about so many amazing concerts: Bruce Springsteen (this blog is named after his song!), The Rolling Stones, U2, Taylor Swift, and more. Recently, Taylor Swifts team gave me a press pass to write about her ERA’s show. The review was published on this site!

When I write about shows, I hope fans feel like they are there. For those that attended, I want them to re-live the show, reading the review the next day, experiencing all of those great moments again. I also like to spotlight new acts, singles, and albums. Maybe you’ll find your favorite new song or band. This is Where the Bands Are!
