flor with Winnetka Bowling League in San Antonio

Yes, I went to another flor show, and yes, it was perfect.

If you didn’t go to this tour, you missed out. In one of my favorite tour pairings ever, flor and Winnetka Bowling League made a hole-in-the-wall venue in San Antonio, TX feel like home.

I’d been dying to see WBL live since the first time I’d heard On The 5, so when flor announced they were playing together, I knew I had to be there. Alongside a group of my friends, we screamed the words to On The 5 and Kombucha (the only two WBL songs out at that time), even at one point gaining the attention of lead singer Matthew Koma, maybe because we were definitely loud and off-key, but we were having way too much fun to care.

And then there’s flor. Admittedly, it was my 26th flor show, but that just shows how completely magical they are. A few years ago, flor released a song with my good friend (and theirs) Lostboycrow called Feels Like Home, and that’s what flor shows have become for me. I never feel like I’m just at another concert, I genuinely feel like I’m coming home to a second family that has been there for me through everything the last 5 years. Something special about flor is that even if it’s your first show or your 50th, they make you feel valued, loved, and seen. I truly believe that the success that they’ve found is because of their genuine love for the people that love them. They’re not only talented in the extreme, but the nicest group of people you could ever meet.

You’ll find me at flor shows until they drag me out, kicking and screaming.
