Some time back our friend Kristin Kneeland emailed me cause she decided to buy tickets to the Ray LaMontagne with Brandi Carlile show at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park, Alpharetta, GA. Patrick, her husband, isn’t big on Ray LaMontagne I guess, so I lucked out and I couldn’t be happier!

Paul and I have LOVED his music for a long time, we even had our first dance at our wedding to “The Best Thing.” Our first song together (when we started dating) was actually “Hold You In My Arms,” but it was a little too slow for us to dance to at the wedding. We switched it up but still stuck with our common musical love of Ray!

Many people know him for his very popular “Trouble”, but I think Paul’s all-time favorite of his is “Jolene.” Oh and another good one, I absolutely love is “Be Here Now,” oh it’s so amazing!

I love anything and everything Ray LaMontagne, and couldn’t be happier that Kristin invited me out for a fun girls evening to see him live. I definitely missed having Paul there as I think I would have enjoyed it that much more with him there too, but it was also fun bonding with Kristin for this awesome experience!

Check out some highlights from the show… it was pretty amazing!! Kristin is right, Ray Lamontagne is PIMP!
