Concerts were finally back in full force in 2022 with so many bands hitting the road. I was lucky enough to cover 19 shows in 11 different venues across 3 states, including 5 acts inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Below are some of my favorite photos that have appeared on MisplacedStraws throughout the year, enjoy a review of 2022 in live music!
