It’s been a long journey for Megan and Liz, with a fair share of ups and downs, but nothing seems to keep these two from pursuing their dream.

Tips to Keep in Mind for Your Next Concert

By: Máire Hannigan

As a lover of music, and live music specifically, I’ve been to my fair share of concerts. My first was the Backstreet Boys in 2007 on their Never Gone tour. My favorite memory of that show is how mesmerized I was by the experience. I danced and sang the night away and worried about nothing but enjoying the music.
