My Blog inspiration book, Everything I Need to Know I learned From A Little Golden Book, says that we should “make music a part of
[our] life”. This is something that I have always tried to do as in: Day
56- Banjo Night, Day 15-Change It Up Jazz, Day 58-Black Keys, and Day 101-Pittsburgh
Pops, Chris Botti. However, for this new challenge, I tried tried a new music venue, Stage AE on the Pittsburgh North Shore.

Reflection
Concerts at Stage AE are more intimate and the place has an eclectic band line up.On a whim my friend and I decided to go on a Friday and
thus I also explored “ new artists,” or
at least they were new to me!

You may have to stand the entire time but you are much
closer and the ticket cost is a lot less to be close than at a Heinz Field concert. It was not too crowded so we had our own little space too! At Stage AE I heard Kishi Bashi, Guster and My Morning Jacket for the first time but I was a fan by
the end of each evening. I even got a Guster tea shirt- another first!
Maybe I am just
not “hip” because I haven't heard of a lot of the bands that play here but this venue has been an excellent place to experience good music. I haven't been disappointed yet, although the last show, My Morning Jacket, was a bit too loud. (Stage AE line up). The
tickets prices are not out of control and some
concerts are outside which is always a bonus on a clear warm summer night in Pittsburgh.

May the words of my mouth and thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you,
O' Lord, my rock and my redeemer. (Psalm 9:14)
