Summer Concerts: Are You Prepared?

It's hard to believe in just two short months, it will be summer. While many see summer as a break from school or beach vacations, we look at it as the beginning of the best concert season. This year in particular, the greatest in the music industry are hitting the road. Where do we start? The Jonas Brothers, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, One Direction, Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson are just some among the long list of superstars traveling the country this summer. Of course, there's a lot more to shows than meets the eye. Fans need to prepare for everything from renting a car to booking a hotel room when planning out their road trips.

Rutgers University: Cobra Starship, Breathe Carolina, & The Ready Set Concert

If you like the synthpop style of music, then you don't want to miss out on the Cobra Starship, The Ready Set, and Breathe Carolina concert later this month in New Jersey. Rutgers University's RUPA committee are hosting their final concert of the year at the State Theatre in downtown New Brunswick on April 17th. As fans of The Ready Set (and Rutgers alumni) we're so excited for this concert! While it is a college concert, tickets will be available to the general public as well beginning Monday. I'm sure the new jersey energy of the fans will be off the charts. Rutgers, we know you can represent!  For more info on the event check out here!

Robbie Rosen - Strawberry Festival Concert

 

We decided to get together and check out Robbie Rosen's latest appearance last weekend. Unfortunately, the Universe seemed to be against us from the get go. Half our group got stuck in traffic and then got a flat tire along the way. Luckily, due to some technical difficulties, Robbie's set was a half hour late and started just as we arrived. Talk about luck.
