@SweetLeafJacqui’s Lolla Top Picks and Tips!
By Danny on Jul 22 Filed In Lollapalooza Add a Comment
I am SO excited about Lolla this year, which makes it extremely hard to pick just one person or band to list as my top pick. I am stoked to see Eminem, Cee Lo, Foster the People, Local Natives, Bright Eyes, and the Arctic Monkeys to name a few. But my number one pick for y’all to see is hands down Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses. Yes, I know I just went from Eminem to Ryan Bingham. To say I like a wide variety of music may be an understatement. But this Oscar winning
“Weary Kind” singer has much more to give than just one gritty song. Ryan Bingham and The Dead Horses jam on stage one great song after another. For those not familiar with Texas country, I cannot recommend a better act to get you hooked. And as an added bonus, Ryan himself is quite the looker. It doesn’t hurt that I am a sucker for the harmonica and guitar players. For Ryan’s own safety, I hope I do not get close to him back stage because I will lick his face.
On that note, on to festival surviving tips. If you’re in for the long haul or just a day, it always helps to have a blanket. I recently purchased the JJ Cole Essentials Blanket from Target because of its convenience. It’s light, easy to carry, and built for the outdoors which makes it perfect for festival season.
My other survival tip is ice cold Mint & Honey green tea. My favorite teas are Peach and Original, however, during a hot festival day, there is nothing better than an ice cold Mint & Honey. It gives you the perfect boost in between sets.
I look forward to seeing you out there and for more bands to check out for Lolla, follow me on Twitter @SweetLeafJacqui!
