First Concert Together: Mariah and I saw Michael Bolton in Concert!!

My girlfriend Mariah Startzman and I saw Michael Bolton in concert last night.
This was his first show since COVID.
He and his band performed with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
He actually said at one point that he wished he could go out into the crowd and let the crowd get on stage and perform because it had been so long since concerts were allowed due to COVID.
He did many of his hit solo songs and cover tunes.
He’s still a powerhouse vocalist.
He’s actually a great guitarist too.
Believe it or not, he used to be more of a rock singer.
He was once the singer of the band Blackjack with future KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick
They made two awesome albums and my girlfriend and I will forever say that those two albums are masterpieces.
And he made a few other more rocking albums before he became the superstar that he is today.
Anyway, Michael Bolton is a phenomenal singer/songwriter/musician.
We had a great time.
I’m so glad Mariah and I were able to see him together.

  1. Stand By Me
