J Music: The 20/20 Experience Tour (Hartford, CT)

What you didn’t get with the Legends of the Summer Tour, you get 10x over with the 20/20 Experience Tour. As far as overall production — full-band, choreography, spectacular visual element, set list and design, ebb and flow — only show that almost touches Beyonce’s I Am… Tour (the best show I’ve ever been to two snaps). The show didn’t end until almost 12 a.m. in Hartford (on a weeknight) — the arena was still at capacity, with fans on their feet, until the end.

J Music: Stacie Orrico Performs First Show in Five Years

image

Exciting news!

Following the 10-year anniversary of her hit singles “Stuck” and “(There’s Gotta Be) More to Life,” Stacie Orrico has announced she will perform a 30-minute set via online venue Stage It. The ticket is pricey — considering most Stage It concerts are “pay what you can” – and during most people’s evening commute, but if you can get to a computer you will witness her first performance in over five years!

(Sidenote: I know she has drifted toward more of a jazz sound after stepping away from the industry, but I am hoping she performs her pop, R&B-influenced classics — I want to hear “Is It Me” and “I’m Not Missing You”!)

Stacie Orrico Live from the Nomad in NYC | 70 “notes” (or $7) | 5:00 p.m. EST

J Events: Austin Mahone at the Big E

I had a true flashback moment to my days as a crazed B2K fan after attending Austin Mahone’s hour-long set at the Big E on Saturday, September 28. I definitely learned the differenence between a fan and a mahomie.

Tristan “Mack” Wilds’s New York: A Love Story has received very favorable reviews, catching the attention of MTV, Concrete Loop and Vibe, among others. His debut single, “Own It” is in heavy rotation. And he did it all while using an alias that didn’t leverage his many acting credits as “Tristan Wilds,” including roles on HBO’s The Wire, 90210 and on the big screen in Red Tails.

Black Tie Event: Airlift Benefit to El Salvador

Photos from our 26th Annual Airlift Benefit to El Salvador, one of the few times I don’t mind working on a Saturday night!

The entertainment was provided by Amanda Brown (The Voice Season 3), and Suavemente – they were both a welcomed surprise I had only seen a few performances by Amanda on The Voice, but she is a very strong vocalist and was a great fit with the band; they covered everything from top 40 to Motown all night.

J Events: Made In America 2013

J Events: Made In America 2013

So it’s safe to say this photo album is wayy overdue, but I still wanted to share my favorite moments from Made In America 2013. This was my first year attending the festival in my former hometown, but it definitely lived up to the hype.

Few tips for people thinking about going next year:

Trying to stay all-day for both days is ambitious, especially if you partake in Budweiser (and non-Budweiser) food and drink. 

Even though I didn’t head to the festival until 4 p.m. on Saturday, I was exhausted by the end of Beyonce’s set that night (side note: she shut it down, obviously). Depending on the acts, I would suggest planning to head over a little late one day and leaving a little early the next day.

Water is your friend.

The weather was great for the festival, but that also meant dehydration was definitely a factor. For every Budweiser beer you drink, you should have a bottle of water.

Ladies, you will need a deep conditioner after this one.

My hair went through it during the festival – between the heat, humidity and second-hand smoke, you will leave with brittle, dry hair. Nothing you can’t solve with a little deep conditioner.

Pick 3-4 artists you really want to see (each day) and leave time to explore!

I went thinking I was going to run from stage to stage the whole weekend, but that is not realistic. On Sunday I picked 3-4 artists I wanted to see (Solange, Miguel, Kendrick Lamar, and Calvin Harris – all 5-star) and then left time to hang out on the grass, take picture in the Skype photobooth, and by chance, meet Miguel!
