So let’s talk about some things I like. I like the fact that it’s starting to get colder in Tallahassee, Florida. I like that my favorite coffee shop has free wifi. I like knowing the Seminoles are currently the number one football team in the nation. I like knowing I’m going camping later today. I also like music.

So let’s focus on that last one.  I love how music can put you in or take you out of any mood for any reason. I love how music can impact you whether you’re singing along with all your friends or just humming it to yourself in the car. Nothing makes music more enjoyable though than seeing one of your favorite bands performing your favorite songs live.

This past Saturday, I made the 5 hour trek from Tallahassee, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia to see Judah and the Lion. Judah and the Lion is a folk band originally based in Nashville, Tennessee. You know that cool factor it seems that everyone in Nashville seems to have. That cool factor that, if you don’t live in Nashville, it seems like you’ll never achieve. Well these guys have got that.

The Venue

Their songs range from slow croons to foot stomping jams. At one point in the show in Atlanta, there were dubstep influences as well as a little R. Kelly homage to boot (!!! Ignition Remix!!!).  However, the best part of the show was the joy the band brought to the crowd. With lyrics like “ain’t it funny how the simple things in life are the only things that really matter” and “we don’t  know where the road ends, but we’re having fun”.

So, if you need some new tunes for the upcoming week make sure you check out Judah and the Lion. My favorite songs include Somewhere In-Between, Fill This House, and Twenty-Somethings.

"Ain't it funny how the simple things in life are the only things that really matter."

Oh Hai! Remember that time I took a really low quality selfie with Judah of Judah and the Lion.
