June 12th - Lindsey Stirling Concert

Over the past year I have become a huge Lindsey Stirling fan...I dont
remember how I first saw her but it was purely by accident and I was
hooked immediately...

Lindsey got her big shot on Americas Got Talent where she made it
to the quarter finals in 2010...Piers Morgan, to no surprise, "X-ed"
her and said she was talented but couldnt see her being a "hip-hop
violinist" as a show in Vegas...

Lindsey was heart-broken but turned that rejection around where
she took her talent on YouTube and became one of the first big
stars to make it through YouTube...

To date she has over 6 million subscribers to her channel and has
over a billion views of her videos...

I invite you to check her out at the following links to learn more...
Her videos are truly amazing...The quality is I believe better then
youll see done by other artist on VH-1, MTV, etc...

Lindsey not just writes her own music but creates all her steps and
dances AND now on tour, stage designs, etc...She is VERY hands
on...And very talented when you see her videos...

Lindsey was coming to Syracuse and I could not pass at the chance
to see her...


I got to sit in on a Q&A session with Lindsey where she answered
my question of, "Has she run into or heard from Piers since he booted
her off AGT?"  To no shock of anyone there, she has not heard from
him and she even joked about how she thought he was going to bring
her onto his CNN show but alas, Piers show has been canceled (as
she smiles)...Success is the sweetest revenge!!!!






She even played one song for us too...




Prior to Lindsey coming out on stage, she had 2 opening acts...One was a
pop star named Olivia Somerlyn...



And the other was a hip-hop/rap duo Karmin...


Finally, Lindsey took the stage and she did not disappoint!  Some of the videos
are full length and others are just "shortys"...My camera filled up and had to
switch to my smart-phone where the audio I dont think was as good...So I
apologize ahead of time...I also need to apologize for having to go to smaller
resolutions on the larger files so hey arent as clear...







For the next couple of songs, they dropped a large white fabric down and
projected various things off of it...Lindsey and the group danced both in
front and behind the fabric which makes it hard to see them at times...








And she even sings...





Finale'...
