Born and raised in Austin, Texas—music was always around. Some of my first shows were watching my Dad perform. This is my personal archive of ticket stubs & photos I’ve collected over the years, each one tied to a memory, a moment, or just a really good time. I kept them for a reason—maybe this is it. A place to capture and share those memories.
The Wallflowers “Wasteland Tour”
…with Counting Crows opening. I always considered this my “first” concert—the first one I remember going to without my parents, in a huge arena. August 26, 1997 at the Frank Erwin Center (RIP). I still have the shirt.
I mean…
I still talk about this one. Blur—touring their self-titled Blur album—playing at the iconic Liberty Lunch (IYKYK), with an up-and-coming band called “Smash Mouth” opening. Unreal.
Here’s the Blur setlist.
Aerosmith Ninelives Tour
December 4, 1997. I’ll never forget this one. The album had just come out. My best friend’s dad dropped off—in his brand new Expedition. He yelled at me for stepping on the leather seat with my shoes. Great show. Great night.
Third Eye Blind Debut Album Tour
with Our Lady Peace opening. April 1998 at the now-gone Austin Music Hall. For some reason, this show doesn’t seem to exist on the internet—but I was there. They had just played SNL, and the whole thing was 🔥
As of April 2025, I’m just getting started. There are hundreds to sort through, and it'll take time to bring them all to life—but I’m excited for the ride.
