Saturday April 17th, Dashboard Confessional will be opening for Bon Jovi at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida. Dashboard Confessional released their first album Swiss Army Romance in 2000. For the past decade they have accumulated an astounding fan base due to their connection through their lyrics. Carrabba, the singer of Dashboard only wants his music to be real and stripped, to expose all the emotions of life. He says, “Music is all things to me. It’s a respite from real life, but also a place to contemplate and begin to understand what you’re going through. Music can clarify how things are affecting you.” And this is indeed how Carrabba’s loyal fans feel.
He is currently on his sixth album, and it is all about the obstacles one may have to encounter in life. He says that while producing this album, things “kind of fell apart.” His sister was in a horrible accident and in a coma, while several of his relatives became ill. He spent a lot of time away from the studio to be with his family, and to sort through his life.
From Dashboard’s first album, to the sixth, the music suggests turning to new beginnings and realizing that life has to go on for the best. If you are interested in attending this concert and/or have questions, go to TicketMaster.com and enjoy!
