Concert Bucket List: Howard Jones
Today as I was getting ready for work, I had a craving for Howard Jones so I put on his YouTube channel. I loved this man so much as a kid growing up in the 80s and he has been on my concert bucket list forever. I decided to check his upcoming tour dates and he’s coming to Cleveland in March! Usually, I find out about these things way after they happen, like when I’m scrolling through Instagram and I see one of my friends posting pictures of a Howard Jones show in Cleveland last year, so I’m taking this as a sign that I have to go. Plus, it’s on a Saturday, which makes the 2 hour drive there from Pittsburgh so much easier.
Howard must really like Cleveland if he was just there and is coming back less than a year later and it’s one of only 4 US cities listed on his tour. Thank god Cleveland is practically my neighbor.
I was about to call Henry 87 times in a row and then text him “911!!!! 187!!!!” but then Janna said she would go with me so Henry is like THANK GOD! I’m going to be in a good mood today, so everyone can thank Howard Jones, Cleveland, and Janna.
(Mike + the Mechanics is playing here in March too and if Henry doesn’t buy me tickets for Christmas, he is fucking dead to me.)
Who’s on YOUR concert bucket list? Tell me!

Uhh, all of the bands? I don’t have any specifically that I need to make it to, except then when concerts come and I’m like, FUCK I SHOULD HAVE GONE. I would like to see NIN and The Used both again someday.
Elton John (shut up!) and I wish I had seen Michael Jackson before he died.
I concur with both! To have seen MJ in the 80s must have been especially spectacular.
I have only ever been to one concert and that was a Bob Dylan concert. I guess I am not much of a music fan, although back in the day, I wish I could have seen the original Guns N Roses. I looked up where Howard is performing and he is going to be at Cathedral Hall (Trinity Commons), which I found a bit odd but I guess the Church needs to make money.
I thought that was an odd venue too, but it looks really pretty so I’m excited! It’ll be a nice change because every time I go to Cleveland for a show, it’s always at the Grog Shop of House of Blues.
