Having the privilege to see musicians like the legendary Andy Bell (Erasure) at a small venue is one reason I made Nashville my home. I love writing music, but I’m a music fan first and foremost! 🖤🎶💗💜🥹 #80s #80smusic #livemusic #nashville #andybell #erasure #thebasementeast

We kicked off my birthday month with an intimate show at The Basement East in Nashville and saw the legendary Andy Bell (#Erasure) - #80s #synthpop/#NewWave royalty! “Chains of Love” was my favorite. 🙌🤩🎶💗💜🥹 #livemusic #musicfan #80smusic
