Tonight, I got the pleasure, of, for the first time, seeing The Civil Wars perform live. I've been a huge fan of their music, and despite various attempts to see them live, I've been unable to (they sell out everywhere). Finally, tonight, the time came. I've heard so much about their live show, and ask anyone who has been to a show with me - I am very picky about live performances. I really believe that a live show should be equal too, if not better than a record.
Sure enough, The Civil Wars didn't let me down. What I saw tonight was 2 people on stage doing what they love, having a good time. Not only was the music better than the album, but their stage presence was above par. What really shined through each light, note, and syllable - their passion.
Passion is what drives artists. Passion is what drives anyone who does something they truly love. I get the pleasure of everyday sharing my passion through my job. I get to spread other peoples' passions by doing my passion - social media marketing. Every single day, I am blessed with the opportunity to help artists and entrepreneurs reach their dreams. I hope my passion never dies so that I can help keep others' passion alive too.
Let's chat soon about how social media consulting can help spread your passions to those that you want to engage with.
As for The Civil Wars, keep doing what you are doing; keep sharing your passion for music and life. In the end, if you are authentic and passionate, the music and your personality will sell itself. You've already seen that - over 200,000 albums sold - my hats off to you. Entertainers, take notes. This is the future of music.
