Keane show

A while back Ryan and I saw that Keane, one of our favorite bands, was going on tour and stopping in Salt Lake City. We were so excited because Keane has been on our list of must see concerts forever. Our great friends Chase and Jenna love them just as much as we do, and we knew they would love to come with us. I sent a text to Jenna and Chase letting them know that tickets had gone on sale and we better buy them quick! Jenna texted back saying that they were in, but she planned to surprise Chase with the tickets for father's day which was about a week before the show. She even deleted the text from his phone before he saw it! We had such a hard time keeping this secret! But Chase was really surprised. We all looked forward to the concert for a few months and finally the day came that we got to go!

I was really excited for the show and honestly, it blew my expectations out of the water. It was a moving experience that I'll never forget. The lead singer sounded truly amazing live. I think he sounds better than a recording. The venue was pretty small so we felt really close to the band. It was so fun to be outside on a gorgeous summer night sitting in the grass listening to our favorite music. All the band members said that this was their favorite stop of their tour so far and it was obvious they were having a great time. I truly never wanted it to end. It was like a greatest hits concert. They played all the best old songs as well as my favorites from their newest album.

After the show, we decided to wait by their bus to see if we could meet any of the band members. Each member of the band came out one at a time to sign autographs and take pictures. Since I am short, I just nudged my way up to the front and got to talk with each member of the band while they autographed my tickets. They are all the nicest, cutest guys ever and took time to talk with every person who was waiting. It was the coolest experience to actually meet the people who made some of my favorite music.  For once I wasn't even start struck and had awesome little conversations with each band member. We had such a fun time with our favorites Chase and Jenna and we couldn't imagine having as much fun with anyone else. It was truly a night we'll never forget!

Before the show, we went to dinner at Settebello.
