One of the most life-giving experiences you can have is to attend a live concert. Whether it’s a packed arena for a well-known band or an unplugged living room concert for an on-the-rise singer-songwriter, there is a sweet joy in the shared experience of an artist telling stories and singing songs… sometimes it can even be a profound and transformational experience for the audience member. We often take the opportunity to encourage folks to put some shoes and socks on (adulting!), give up Netflix for a night (difficult!), and go to enjoy a concert (impressive!). As we start the New Year and think about priorities, resolutions, and goals for the months ahead, we want to ask you this: What artist do you most want to see in concert this year (that you’ve never seen before)? We polled dozens in the UTR family, and here were some of their answers. [Add your answer in the comment section below.]
