WOW, what a way to kick off 2011!
TOBYMAC, BRANDON HEATH, and HOUSE OF HEROES
Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011 - they ROCKED the Gibson Amphitheater!
Here's a glimpse at what happened backstage:
Lara Scott and our Contest Winners Joell and Wendy, hung out backstage... chatting about life, kids, foster parenting (Joell and Wendy - who are foster moms and started a ministry at their church - truly inspiring women) and everything else you can think of! Backstage was pretty mellow as the artists and crew were busy setting up, but thankfully the tour brought along a gourmet coffee cart for their backstage! Best vanilla latte ever! Thank you Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee - check them out here http://www.drinkcoffeedogood.com/
After a Backstage hang out, Lara and the winners got to go to a VIP Tobymac Meet & Greet and Acoustic set. Toby answered questions, and sang some old favorites, it was so fun! That was followed by dinner backstage, the Gibson Amphitheater backstage has the coolest catering room, its set up like an old diner, and the food was so good.
We caught up with TobyMac backstage eating popcorn before his set... he was so excited to be back in L.A., and the crowd sure did show him we happy to have him back! Toby chatted with our contest winners , they talked about kids and adoption, and Toby shared that two of his kids are adopted.The Concert kicked off with House of Heroes, which left us all wanting more! They were so great, check out their music here http://www.thehouseofheroes.com/
Next up was Brandon Heath, he played songs off his new album "Leaving Eden" - which is, in our opinion his best album yet, he also played favorites like "Give me your eyes," "I'm not who I was," which of course had people on their feet singing along.
FINALLY TOBYMAC! Ok, there is no way to describe a TobyMac concert, its more energy and excitement than you can imagine. He played all the hits, and some new stuff too, and did anyone catch the funny "pants on the ground" (from American Idol) bit he worked into a song. Hilarious! http://www.tobymac.com/
P.S. Did you see Big Wave Dave's cute daughter Kylie on stage?!!! She was so excited to go on stage and help out her dad with the concert announcements, she's one brave kid!
