I was ecstatic to find out Andy Grammer was going to perform at IC, and my expectations of his performance were most definitely exceeded. Luckily, I was able to get very close to the stage, and the whole situation was surreal. I met so many people that I was standing with, and it was a great opportunity to make new friends. I would see a new face every second, and I just couldn’t stop smiling. The concert itself was awesome, and I was surprised by how many of Andy Grammer’s songs that I actually knew every lyric to! The energy kept increasing as I got closer and closer to the stage, and the energy at the front was completely unmatched. The opening concert brought everyone together; it was an amazing way to kick off IC!
