I’ve seen enough concerts to last a lifetime so when people ask me which ones are your favorite I have an automatic list that I go through. The ones that have stuck out in my memory tend to have special circumstances maybe I wasn’t supposed to get in or be there, or I came across it completely by accident, or it was because of the people I was with that made it memorable. OneRepublic is on my list because it was a last minute decision that even years later I’m so happy I did it. I saw them in 2008 at La Zona Rosa in Austin. TX. It was one of those life moments where you feel and know that for whatever reason you are in the right place at the right time. I had been obsessed with Dreaming Out Loud from the moment it came out. The reason that this concert has always been so high on my list is because I was completely and utterly blown away. The musicianship of everyone in the band was nothing like I had ever experienced before. Each member is so incredibly talented that they brought the performance to another level. They are each so skilled on so many different instruments that each song came to life in a way that I never expected. It truly was the most remarkable show I’ve seen.
Having said that I’m sure you can easily see why it is I’m so excited about the announcement of their upcoming album Native. I will be counting down the days until the new album drops! The cover art work is done and the first single has been chosen. It was a pretty unanimous decision that the first single would be “If I Lose Myself” which was performed on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. I look forward to them getting back on tour because if the opportunity presents itself I will be there again for sure!
Here’s the First Single off Native I hope you enjoy it!
