Here’s a testimonial from some of our staff writers:

Writing for Shows I Go To is what has motivated me as a writer and has helped me receive a nomination for “Best Local Blogger” for “Best Of The Bay 2015.” Our love for music and the artists behind it inspire us to go out, take photos or write reviews, but ultimately connect our experiences to future fans of perhaps their one day favorite band. We’re helping the voices of the scene be heard just a little louder. – Amanda S.

And, here’s one from one of our Staff Photographers:

“SIGT is providing me exactly what I’ve wanted to do and I’m stoked on the fact that these guys are so caring.” – Carlo C.

“Shows I Go To got me business cards and got me laid. Two firsts for me!” – Martin C.
