Sucre, The Honey Trees, and Merriment at Webster Hall (AKA all my dreams coming true)

Last night was pure magic.

I have followed the DuPree sisters for over 10 years, since I first heard of their music from my lovely forever friend Shelley at the YWAM base we lived at in Chico, California. I fell in love with their harmonies instantly. They loved Jesus, were from Texas, and sang about Trolley-woods and Brightly Wound things. (listen to their first album Room Noises here!) Shelley and I then saw them live for the first time in Northern California with Shelley, while they were on tour with Wesley Jensen. It was such an amazing and unique experience for me at 13 to hear these powerful women being excellent musicians and writers, with the most feminine and crafted vocal talent. You could hear people all over the room whispering to their friends "these are the most angelic sounds I've ever heard!" 

So, long story not-so-short, when Sucre came out with her first studio album A Minor Bird, I was hooked right away! Two weeks ago (just in time for me to memorize every word and tune to it ;) ) her follow up EP Loner was released. So seeing Sucre on her first solo tour IN NYC was just the best one-month-early birthday prez to myself. Merriment (sister of Sucre singer Christie, brother Colin, sis-in-law Karsyn, etc) was AMAZING. So so fun and happy and I bought their CD and they signed it 'cause they're just all peaches. and also The Honey Trees!! Becky and Alex, who are both models and rockstars. I bought the vinyl of their new album Bright Fire, and it's incredible. They also served as Sucre's band for this tour, and her harmonies with Stacy's vocals were superb! 

It was a beautiful night filled with such great music and magical moments and happy friendship times. I was so thankful that my dear new friend Liz could accompany me! I had bought two tickets for me and Josiah, but his parents came to town so he couldn't go. It ended up working out wonderfully. I also loved getting a hug from my dear friend Kelsie who was in town for the week and attended the show. (I also met Karsyn who sings in Merriment and has an online store called Bliss Branch, where I got a BlissBox and wore my dress from it to the show! She was the sweetest and had my name on her baby name list...literally, she showed me and it was on there hehe!)

If you're reading this, you should invest time listening and moneys purchasing these band's music! It's worth it. Then come chat with me and we can discuss the music and lyrics that move my heart :)
