Local Bands at Local Venues

To start off my first blog post I have chosen to discuss the topic of local musicians and the great music you can find in your own backyard. Last week I decided to take a venture to a bar in Lawrence, Kansas named Fatsos. A local band, 3 Son Green was performing and I knew it was something that I could not miss. For anyone who is into the whole tree hugging, seed eating, dread headed hippie counter culture you would very much enjoy this show. Not to mention the venue is freaking awesome!

3 Son Green is a local band who plays shows in Lawrence and West Port area of Kansas City. They have been playing for close to three years now. 3SG has a dual type of sound to their music. In some of the songs they produce sound very much like a jam band and in others they can bring on a tranquilizing effect to the crowd. Making you feel at peace and very serene. 

The lead guitarist Trey Green plays a guitar that brings out sounds similar to The Grateful Dead. The sound can definitely be heard in more of their jam songs. I like to describe the sound as the twang of the music that helps build the percussion lightly by adding that funky edge. 3SG is featured on iTunes and have songs like Sponge, Redbird, and La Cygne that are well worth checking out. 

Intro

Hello, my name is Kaycee Dillon. I am a junior at Washburn University. I have actually been attending Washburn for about 5 years. I am proposed to graduate within the 2015 year. I will be a fall graduate. I am a major in Creative Advertisement with a minor in Graphic Design. I am passionate about Graphic Design. I feel that it gives me an opportunity to express myself and visually show others what I am seeing in my mind but cannot express in just words.

I enjoy spending time with my friends, family and my puppy Sass. She is a year old bull terrier and full of energy. The most exciting thing I like to do is go to various concerts, festivals and vacations. I feel that spending money on experiences is more important and meaningful in life then buying material possessions. I have lived up to this and have a lot of wonderful memories and have seen many unforgettable things. In fact during this Labor Day weekend I will be taking a trip to New Orleans. I have never been so I am looking forward to eating authentic down south food and finding the Louisiana Brass Band. As I said before I frequent concerts and other live shows. I love live music and have a strong appreciation and connection to it. I have chosen to write my blog on different concerts and live music. It will cover upcoming concerts which I will be attending and critiquing the music, environment and overall experience. I am very excited to blog this semester. I have always wanted to start my own blog but was unsure of myself when I tried to do it. Hopefully with the feedback from my fellow classmates and gaining experience after this semester, I can start doing it on my own. 

Once again, Hooray! It's a new school year.
