Erica's #71 - Go to a concert outside the U.S.(2/10/2014)

Yes, this is going to be yet another Cayamo-related post!  (Plug for Cayamo - take that journey, and you'll be able to cross a ton of things off of your bucket-list!)  Presumably, we saw a ton of concerts outside the US while on Cayamo.  There were 33 musical acts on the boat, and we did get to see a great deal of them perform at one time or another over the week.  This post will be about one specific show, since it happens to be the only show we saw on land outside the US...

If you've read my blog about going to a music festival, you probably read about us going to the island of Jost Van Dyke to a little beach bar called Foxy's to see one of our very favorite bands, Humming House, play.  We hopped on a smaller taxi boat, took a ride (including a free beer!) over to the island, and went for a swim in the beautiful blue water of the bay before the show.  After we picked up our complimentary rum punch drink from the bar, we gathered around to hear Humming House play.

If you haven't listened to Humming House yet, you really should, and here's your chance:



Pretty great, right?  They're even better live!  They have so much energy and charisma on stage - they sucked us right in when we went to see the for the first time in Indy, on the recommendation of some friends, not knowing what to expect.  They won over a couple of fans for life that night!

After playing their set, they stepped down in front of the stage with their instruments and played a few songs unplugged while the crowd gathered in close to experience this unique moment.  There just aren't that many times in life when you can enjoy a moment like that - listening to music in its purest form, at a bar on a gorgeous Caribbean beach, the sun shining down, surrounded by friends.  It really was one of our greatest days.
