Nina Nesbitt: Live In Central Park!

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE when artists do free meet-ups/concerts for their fans. I feel like it's such an awesome bonding experience - for the fans and for the artist! Even if there's a pretty big crowd, the performance still feels intimate - does that make sense? The most recent musician to do this was the insanely talented 19-year-old (I know, NINETEEN!) Scottish singer/songwriter, Nina Nesbitt. She was in New York City to be a part of Scotland Week! The spring weather was absolutely beautiful - making it the most perfect Sunday to listen to some great music outdoors. If you haven't heard of her, please do yourself a favor and look her up! Trust me, your ears will thank you! I took my friend along with me and she became a "nesbian" right after the first song. It's so exciting to see the power of music and how it spreads among people, connecting everyone! Nina's got this indie folk/rock/pop vibe to her (it makes sense once you listen to her). Her single, "Stay Out" became her first top 40 hit, peaking at #21 on the UK charts! She's definitely making way in the US, she even performed at this year's SXSW! P.S She brought in a pretty huge crowd to hear her sing at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park! I mean, I'd call that a huge success. You can follow her on Twitter (@ninanesbitt) and Instagram (@ninanesbitt) where she posts some pretty awesome pictures from her travels, music, day to day life, etc! After her performance, Nina stuck around and took pictures/signed autographs for every fan that was there for her. Um, how freaking sweet/amazing is that?! It's so refreshing to see an artist genuinely love their fans! She was incredibly sweet - and gorgeous in person! She signed some phone cases, albums, t-shirts, and even someone's arm! All in all, she's a great performer and I'm excited to see her do big things. Check out the pics/footage!

P.S, for all you foodies out there, after a walk in Central Park, nothing beats getting macarons from MacarOn Cafe on W 36th! It's a must-have, so be sure to get out there and get some!

Cassie Steele - Live At The Bowery Electric!

If Cassie Steele isn't on your radar, you're doing it wrong. The Degrassi/L.A Complex alum is about to take the music industry by storm - so prop up your feet, sit back, and watch the magic happen! I always knew Cassie dabbled in music but I didn't know how insanely talented she really is until recently. She held a free acoustic show at The Bowery Electric in NYC last Friday, (4/4/14) and even though the show was 21+, I might've snuck in with the help of my big sis' ID. Oops, should I be telling everyone this?! Anyways, I'm so glad I got in because, to put it simply, Cassie slayed. She sang four songs (three of which will be featured in an upcoming EP - yay!) and I've got it all for you right here! Her vocals are going to blow you away. This girl's got it, it's just a matter of time before her music blows up! After the performance, she hung around to talk and take pics with fans. It was really refreshing to see how genuinely nice she is - I'm definitely rooting for her to succeed in the music biz! American Idol's Randy Jackson has signed her and big things are on the way! Her upcoming EP will feature 'Power', 'Bad Things' and her recently released (and insanely catchy) single, 'Mad'. Fingers crossed that a mini tour will accompany that EP release because I'd love to see her back on stage! Check out some of the cool concert footage I managed to get - and take a look at some pics of some of the press Cassie did in NY over the past week! ♡


Here's some of the press stops she did while in NYC: (pics via Cassie's instagram, @cassandrasteele) She visited Spotify & then dropped some beats over at Nylon Magazine!

Here's the lyric video to her single, 'Mad' available for purchase here on iTunes!

Here's me & Cass! Oh and P.S can I just say that I am LIVING for this girl's style?! I mean, so good. So, so good.

........I'm back!

It's been quite the blogging hiatus but I'm officially back (for the few of you who actually read this)! Anyways, lot's of exciting things have happened since my last post - which was all the way in November, dannnng. I'm still debating if I want to do one long 'wrap up' post, where I tell you about all that's happened, OR individual posts? Hmm, we'll see. ANYWAYS I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BLOGGING AGAIN SO JOIN ME ON MY ADVENTURES!
