I was lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out Florence and the Machine show. I am completely in love with this woman and music. The concert was amazing and surreal, taking place outdoors in the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater. Set against a back drop of trees and water, the summer warmth created a mist that surrounded the show all evening. Florence Welch brough music back to life for me. Her vocals are astounding, sounding better live than all the studio stardust producers can pour into an album. Listen to Florence and the Machine and fall in dark, heady love.

I get to see her again in a month and I am beside myself with excitement.
