Yesterday evening, after a very busy day, I went with a group of friends to go see Joshua Radin. My first concert in Colorado Springs! It was amazing, and the venue reminded me of a venue I went to in Oklahoma. The two opening acts, Jesse Harris and Meiko, were the best opening acts I have EVER heard in my entire life. No lie!
Jesse Harris
Jesse Harris was the first opening act. I loved his voice a lot; it was so soothing and calm. He actually wrote Norah Jones’ “Don’t Know Why”, which is a phenomenal song.
Meiko
The next opening act was Meiko. She was quirky, cute, and a wonderful music artist. In my opinion, she resembled Rachel Yamagata. It was also Meiko’s 24th birthday, in which she sang to us (and not the other way around)!
Finally, Joshua Radin. His most recent fame was singing the Sesame Street theme song on an episode of the televsion show Scrubs. His voice was calm, melodic, and mesmerizing. I actually had not heard of him until a week ago, but I really like him. Perhaps you might know “I’d Rather Be With You”, which is his most recent hit.
Joshua Radin
Overall, it was one of the best concerts I’ve attended. While I thoroughly enjoyed Joshua Radin, I loved both the opening acts, which is rare. A musical and calming evening to end a busy day!
Signing off,

How GREAT was Meiko at that show?!?!? I didn’t have enough money with me to buy her album, but I bought it on iTunes tonight and haven’t stopped listening to it! If you’re reading this and not familiar with Meiko, check out http://www.myspace.com/meiko – sooooooo good!
