Last night I had the chance to attend a concert at the Performing Arts Center in Simbsury -Alison Krauss and Union Station.  It was my first time there so I thought I’d share my experience.

First, Alison Krauss and Union Station put on a good show.  I’m not usually a huge bluegrass or country music fan but Allison has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.  If God could talk, he would sing like Alison.  And Union Station had some great songs so maybe I’m changing my mind…

Back to the venue - The outdoor theater has orchestra and lawn seats available.  We had lawn seats.  The great thing about the lawn is that you can bring anything - I brought chairs, a picnic with wine and food, bug spray, a blanket and utensils.  The only downside is that you have to haul everything pretty far into the venue and are responsible for cleaning up your trash afterwards. 

The sound was pretty good - we didn’t have any trouble hearing the music even from pretty far back.  The lawn felt nice and roomy - I’m tall so I hate going to concerts because I end up kicking or banging into the seats in front of me with my legs.  Here, there was plenty of space to spread out.

For $30/ticket and the cost of food for the picnic, it’s a relatively inexpensive night out to listen to good music and sit under the stars.  If you have a chance, this summer or next, check out the Performing Arts Center at Simsbury Meadows.
