Have you ever loved a band so much that you wanted to follow them across the country? Has the thought of spending an entire summer going to music festivals ever crossed your mind? Are you always seeking out live music when you travel to a new city?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re just like us. We’ve both been around music our entire lives, whether playing it ourselves or following around the bands we love. In addition to being in the crowd, we’ve also worked at dozens of shows and festivals throughout the years. As a matter of fact, we met at the first-ever Rothbury festival in 2008 where we were both working for the same company.
We dated by going on summer tour the next year when we hit four festivals and thirteen Phish shows all across the US. Speaking of Phish, we even went ahead and got engaged at their New Year’s Eve concert in 2014. Yeah, we like live music just a little.
Music and travel are our two biggest passions in life, and we love nothing more than combining them, whether it be raging on the beach at Holidaze or jetting off to Tokyo just to catch a show. Through this section of the site, you can read about our experiences going to thousands of concerts and music festivals.
So quit your job, cancel your haircut, and grab your malnourished dog – it’s time to go on tour!
What’s up 2020?! It’s crazy to think that we’re in a new decade now. What’s even crazier is that 2050 is just as far away as 1990. We hope this new decade is off to a great start for you. It sure is for us! We wound down the last …

Can you believe the year (and the decade) is almost over?! It’s an exciting time as we gear up for the 20th anniversary of Summer Camp Music Festival in 2020. While we’re still waiting to see what amazing lineup the festival has in store for this momentous occasion, we’ve all …
Most people never see 100 total concerts in their life, let alone 100 shows by the same band. That’s precisely the milestone I achieved on our recent trip to Colorado where I finally caught my 100th Phish concert. It took me 16 years and traveling to 18 American states as …
It’s no secret that we love going to music festivals. We met at Rothbury back in 2008 and we’ve been to dozens of other festivals together since then. Camping music festivals truly are our happy place. Unfortunately, we don’t get to go to that many these days as our jobs …

For the past 16 years, I’ve spent most of my free time doing two things – seeing Phish and traveling. Since they rarely play Detroit and have never played China or Indonesia, I’ve had to travel to almost every single Phish concert I’ve seen. As luck would have it this …

Last fall, I had another half-brained scheme. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you’ll know this is nothing new. There was that time I decided to dress like Santa and take a train across China, for example. In years past, these silly ideas had been limited due …
Another New Year is fast approaching, as we get ready to say goodbye to 2018. That means our year-long party is coming to an end. It started out celebrating NYE in Valparaiso, Chile, and soon we’ll be ringing in another New Year with Phish, this time at Madison Square Garden. …
If you know us at all, you know that we love going to music festivals. We even met at one back in 2008. Every year, we try our best to hit at least one new music festival. This year, we decided to finally check Suwannee Hulaween off our musical bucket …
“This is what space smells like. You will always remember where you were.” This profound and catchy lyric came from what was perhaps the most Phishy set that Phish has ever played. The boys from Vermont made up a fake Scandinavian prog-rock band, complete with backstory and all, and “covered” …
