I was a big fan of her first couple records, but I hadn’t listened too much since then.”Duritz explained further: “My girlfriend is a really huge fan, though, and I got us all tickets to see the show.

We went with Chris Carabba and Immer. I researched all of Taylor’s records before that and really flipped out on how much I enjoyed them — I was really knocked out by a lot of the music.
