Todd Kerns & Friends And A Cool Meet And Greet Evening

 Last night I attended Todd Kerns and friends at Count's Vamp'd Rock Bar & Grill in Las Vegas.

Besides a kickass show. The night started off with a band "Meet & Greet".

A band meet and greet is an event where fans get the opportunity to interact with their favorite musicians in a more personal and intimate setting.

Besides getting to meet the band. Everyone got their picture taken with the band.

And received a very cool commemorative lanyard to take home to remember the special occasion.

Like the ones that these three fans are showing off.

What a cool way to get to meet your favorite band!

Here's a general overview of what typically happens at a band meet and greet:

Fans usually arrive at the venue and check-in, often showing a ticket or pass that grants them access to the meet and greet.

There might be a waiting area where fans gather before the event starts.

The meet and greet can be conducted in groups or individually. In group sessions, several fans meet the band at once, while individual sessions allow for one-on-one interactions.

A professional photographer or a designated staff member usually takes pictures of fans with the band.

Fans often get a chance to have merchandise, albums, or other items signed by the band members. Some bands provide specific items for signing, while others allow fans to bring their own.

Fans typically get a few moments to chat with the band members, ask questions, or express their appreciation.

Sometimes, exclusive merchandise or memorabilia is available for purchase or included as part of the meet and greet package.

Some meet and greets offer unique experiences, such as backstage tours, soundcheck access, or even a short acoustic performance or Q&A session with the band.

The duration of a meet and greet can vary but typically lasts from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the number of fans and the structure of the event.

Overall, a band meet and greet provides fans with a unique and memorable experience, allowing them to connect with their favorite musicians in a way that's not possible during a regular concert.

Last night's show and the Meet & Greet was Awesome!

If you ever get the chance to see Todd Kerns, Do It.

He's Awesome Too!

May 17th Today In Music History

 From time to time I like to post things and events that have happened in recent music history.

Some are pretty interesting to say the least!

Here are several significant events that have taken place on this date in recent and past years.

1. 1967: Bob Dylan was famously called "Judas" by a fan during a concert at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. This incident occurred because some fans were unhappy with Dylan's transition from acoustic folk to electric rock.

2. 1969: The Who released their iconic rock opera album "Tommy" in the United States, which became a major influence in the rock genre​.

3. 1975: Elton John's album "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" became the first album to sell a million copies on its first day of release​.

4. 1978: The movie "Thank God It's Friday," featuring a disco soundtrack, premiered in Los Angeles​ on this day in 1978.

5. 1980: Peter Criss left the rock band KISS to pursue a solo career. He was replaced by drummer Eric Carr​.

6. 1995: Legendary rock and roll pioneers Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Fats Domino performed together for the first time in Sheffield, England​ on this day in 1995.

These highlights are a glimpse into the rich history of music that has unfolded on May 17.
