Parachute

Before this summer, I had never been to a concert. It really was no big deal to me since growing up I never really had a favorite band or artist that I just had to pay 30-100 to listen to music I already owned. But, this past summer, my good friend Kelsie decided to introduce me and my other friend Jamie to Parachute. I've been in love ever since.

It was a Goo-Goo Dolls concert in Park City and Parachute, along with Michelle Branch, was opening for them. Since all 3 of us were fairly new to the concert scene, we didn't think to pack blankets or extra jackets. We were also late to the concert AND the Goo-Goo Dolls, (while I like their music) were kind of big, fat jerks. But, overall it was a good experience (probably due to the fact that Parachute gave an impromptu after-concert show on the sidewalk and we were an arms length away from them).

(Me, Kelsie, and Jamie. My first concert!!)

A few months later, I found myself at another Parachute concert. This one was at a club in the ghetto of Salt Lake where Kelsie's car got a window smashed in (nothing stolen) and my car had been towed previously that day. But, again, overall it was a good experience. Mainly because their music is so good and they're actually decent, humble human beings while they were on stage.

Not a lot of people know who Parachute is, however they are familiar with the song, She Is Love. But, the rest of their stuff is just as good too. It's clean, it's awesome, and you all should look them up. They are fabulous!
