Concerts at the Fillmore

I had the pleasure of going to see Rap’s up-and-comer, J.Cole, at the Fillmore on Wednesday night. He performed so well and really engaged the crowd. You can’t help but love him, he is oh-so adorable, and puts out really great music. Also, you gotta love the fact he is a college grad and really seems to be a humble person.

J.Cole’s performance was not the only thing that impressed me Wednesday. The Fillmore in Silver Spring was a pleasant surprise. It reminded me of the music hall, the Norva in Norfolk, where I went to see a many concerts in college. The venue was IDEAL for a small concert with an intimate feel. Some of the features of the venue are; standing room only, numerous bars, great acoustics and lighting, and it boasts FREE coat check. Awesome right?!

I would love to catch another show at the Fillmore. Below is a list of their upcoming shows…who should I go see?

I have such a passion for working in the entertainment industry; and I was pursuing my dream in college through working at radio stations and planning concerts for the university. I would say in the last three years I have lost site of the dream. But, I am by no means a pity case because my distraction has been my amazing job that has polished my public relation and event planning skills and allowed me to travel all over the country.

I do want to get more focused though…even if it is just side hustling! So I have set some simple and attainable goals for myself this summer. In the next three months I plan to:

* Create attractive and unique business cards to carry with me at all times

* Touch up my resume and make it easily accessible

* Work at least one side gig via Craigslist or recommendations from networking that is directly related to the entertainment industry

Watch out…this #ambitiousgirl is going to be on the move this summer!
