A train park! There was an old timey train themed concert tour with 6 stops in the Southwest United States. Each stop was at some train related location. The one that I went to was at a train park, so basically a park with some old trains parked in it (it was never a train station). Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes, and Old crow medicine show performed and it was awesome! MacKenzie Persen
I must admit that Carleton’s Concert Hall has housed several performances and concerts that will remain in my heart and mind for many years to come. In that cream-colored space, I’ve jumped around to the energy brought to its stage by Josh Ritter, alongside some of my best friends, and I’ve wiped sweaty palms and swallowed shaky voice stepping up to the solo mic--also alongside some of my best friends. I’ve stood perfectly still utterly taken by goosebump-inducing a cappella harmonies, and I’ve felt the swell of emotion that comes with singing every driving note of Handel’s Messiah with the choir.

Coolest place I saw a show was in a weird empty parking lot in the meatpacking district of Chicago. It was an impromptu fest of sorts and the main band was this awesome funky horn-infused west African drumming group. All the lighting was twinkly and it was awesome. Nora Gregor
