It’s time to return to the music.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Ever since I moved here to Arizona almost one year ago, I’ve been looking for an outside concert venue. Luckily, the Ugly Christmas sweater concert had a triple line up of some of my favorite bands, and it was at the Mesa Amphitheatre<\/a>, a relatively small outside venue that is only minutes from where I live.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
So on December the 12th, 2016, I sat on the grass in the cool and near perfect winter evening to listen to Band of Horses, Head & the Heart, and Kings of Leon.<\/a><\/div>\n
The pink sunset faded as the full moon rose above the tree line. The Christmas lights from people’s ugly sweaters illuminated the crowd as the bands played.<\/a><\/div>\n
Hipster beanies donned with board shorts and flip flops kept me smiling and feeling the love. The Arizona lifestyle is becoming more and more contagious.<\/a><\/div>\n
I mean, who doesn’t love an outdoor concert in the middle of December, other than people in the Southern hemisphere?<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Enjoy some of my favorites tracks from these artists and celebrate my newest music venue discovery.<\/div>\n\n\n
