Hello friends! This week we’re coming off a serious post-concert high — we got to see Calum Scott live at the Fillmore in downtown Minneapolis, and I had to share some highlights about the experience. 🎤
How we ended up there:
🎟️ Atticus has been begging for a big concert (Bruno Mars is the dream, but those tickets are $250–$300 a seat — yikes!)
👀 My wife spotted Calum Scott at the Fillmore for $60. Sold! Only bad news is the tickets were for standing room only — cue lots of pre-show knee bends and stretches from me and my wife
🏰 We scored a tucked-away corner spot with a support beam to lean on (genius move on my wife’s behalf)
The moment that got me:
💛 Mid-set, Calum came out into the crowd to sing I Love You No Matter What — a song about family loving you no matter who you are or what you’ve done. I got misty-eyed — because that’s exactly the parent I want to be for Atticus in a dance world that doesn’t always make space for boys who dance.
🩰 Bonus: he played one of the songs Atticus has a solo to — extra goosebumps for me
🙌 (Yes, my wife grabbed his shoulder. Yes, I got a consensual fist bump. We’re not proud. Okay, a little proud.)
What stuck with me:
🎶 Calum is sincere, appreciative, and an incredible entertainer
👯 He closed with a Whitney Houston duet of I Wanna Dance with Somebody — reportedly the first artist in years approved by her estate to use her voice (don’t quote me, but wow)
💌 We’re officially on the Fillmore mailing list (but next time we’re springing for a balcony seat!)
