A POP OF COLOR IN AN ENDLESS SKY OF MUSIC
Electronic Rockers Speak on New Tour + Return to Atlanta

Over the last few years, hundreds of new artists and musicians have flooded the scene. While there’s nothing bad about a rising sea of music to swim through, at times it feels like schools of the same fish passing through over and over. Once in a while, though, you’ll catch a glimmer of something different in the distance. Something that grabs ahold of your curiosity and captivates your soul like a fish with rainbow scales. Or, in this case, a tie-dyed sky.  
That’s how I felt the first time I heard Skydyed - a three-piece electronic rock band from Colorado featuring Andrew Slattery on bass synths and bass guitar, Max Doucette on guitar and synths, and Shane Eagen on drums. Their brilliant blend of unique electronic sounds combined with layers of drums and rhythm has the power to make you instantly soar into an endless funky groove.

Hailing from Fort Collins, Colorado, Skydyed emerged in 2014 after the three bandmates discovered an undeniable vibe between them. Together, they fuse a spectrum of sound into music that brings on the feeling of looking into an endless, colorful sky.

Well, well. Another season has passed and (to my suprise) more goals have been crossed off my list! September and October proved to be very busy and tested a lot of my patience and determination. November and December brought a lot of friends & family time and gratitude. All were rich in experience, and as I recapped this I was flooded with amazing memories. 
Looking forward, I hope to get back into a regular writing schedule as I rearrange several obligations in my life, which hopefully means I will look at my 101 list with intent. If you've made goals for yourself in the past year, I invite you to reflect on them before springing completely into the new year. And, if you need inspriation for new goals to make, check out some of the ones I crossed off as 2016 came to a close.
Completed will be bolded. In Progress will be italicized. Incomplete items will stay normal.

Wooo! So many more adventures happened in between these photos, but here are the highlights! I feel so much gratitude for all the shows I've been able to go to. It was truly a musical and magical year for me, I'm excited to see where I end up next! I've got about a year left in this challenge, so I think it's time to kick it into high gear and be massively productive in the months ahead! Who's in?!
