2025: The Year of the Concert - Our Favorite Photos

2025 was the year of the concert for our family, and yes - we are those people there with their kids. And we get one of two reactions, those who question our parenting, and those who are like "Good job!"

And we got pretty lucky with how many great acts played nearby in 2025. And I was pretty happy with how many venues allowed cameras. Between my phone and camera, I had plenty to reflect on, and I thought I'd share my fifteen favorites below. 

But first a big thank you to the bands, their crews, their families, and the venues who hosted these shows. We had a great time getting out to shows, and we are looking forward to whatever shows 2026 brings - see you out there!
