We are two best friends… Connie and Michelle who met through work but quickly realized we had several things in common. We love our beautiful families, enjoy the same types of music, traveling, the beach and attending great concerts.

Serious Music Fans:
It’s amazing how passionate music fans are. We are so proud to be a part of something so special. With so many years of loving music and attending hundreds of concerts, we have made so many wonderful friends, great memories and have had lots of great stories to share. We have also learned a few things about going to the shows over the years. So, we decided to create a place where we could all go to share our experiences. We call it “The Sandbar”. It is just like a “pit”, the standing room only area at many concerts. We can all hang out and enjoy each others stories and the love of great music! What makes us the most excited is being able to hear YOUR stories about why you love going to live concerts and listening to music, what drives you to attend these concerts, and how you incorporate all of it into your own lives. Sharing your travels along the way makes it even more special. Along with the many fans we will meet on this incredible journey, WE… Welcome You To Our Sandbar!
Connection to the Islands:
The Virgin Islands captured our hearts many years ago and we travel there very often. You will notice there is a taste of the ocean in a lot of what we do. Often we will share our trips to different places with you all. We are always finding ways to help with the recovery of the USVIs from the hurricanes in 2017 and love sending music and beach loving fans there to boost their economy. We have several friends that live on St. John. We went on a special trip to St. John in October of 2014 and that is where we started to create Welcome To The Sandbar. We brought back some great ideas and recorded our 1st of many podcasts for the website. Since then we have grown into doing the always fun “Carcast” via our Facebook lives. We are always looking for fans who live the fun music and beach loving lifestyle. We welcome them to be a part of our Sandbar “Pit Crew”. If you hang with us you’ll have a good time, we love to make memories that last a lifetime. This is a special place where the fans live a little, love a lot! We want this to be a place were we welcome this crazy “tribe” of music loving fans to escape and enjoy life with us!
At The Shows:
While not everyone has been able to experience the pit area at a concert in real life, our hope is that this website that is filled with fun videos and podcasts, that will bring us all together at the end of the stage even if we can’t be at EVERY show. There is no better feeling while looking up into a mass of people in a stadium or amphitheater and feeling like you know everyone there. That amazing experience when our favorite artist is right in front of us and we are singing back the music we love so much. We’ve met the coolest people while feeling like “VIPs” or standing for 8 hours in the pit. We’ve been “Way Up High In The Cheapest Seats” too. That is what is so special about this group of insanely awesome people we have met over the years. We have had the ability over the years to visit cities all over the United States and Canada to go to concerts. It is very special to be at a concert full of fans and feel the energy from the audience, we love traveling to different cities every year and meeting the fans along the way! We have been to Dallas, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, Kansas City, Missouri, Columbus, Ohio, Atlanta, Georgia, Charlotte, North Carolina, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Tampa, Florida, West Palm Beach, Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, Flora~Bama, Miami, Florida, Kissimmee, Florida, Orange Beach, Florida, Tallahassee, Florida, Key West, Florida and Rogers, Arkansas for many concert tours. We still have so many more cities left to visit on our bucket list.
Giving Back:
So… Let’s all share our favorite memories over the years of going to concerts, tailgating and traveling the country to catch a show. Let’s talk about all the pirates we’ve met along the way. You will hear about our hugs from so many artists, all the way to the day we were honored enough to interview our favorite… Kenny Chesney, before the opening night of The No Shoes Nation tour in Tampa. We have been blessed to meet so many of our other favorite artists too. It is an incredible ride! We have been organizing raffles at our tailgates and preparties that have raised over $10,000 for The Love For Love City Foundation. We helped rescue over three hundred animals from the Virgin Islands after the hurricanes in 2017. There is so much more to come as our adventures continue with each concert and as we travel all over the country to find the beast beaches and oh yea… beer!
Hang on for this wild ride, while we live life to the fullest! Jump on board and get your feet wet! We promise a good time!
