Raised in the suburbs of San Jose, Dana is a freelance writer who has been fascinated with live music since middle school. Attending her first concert (the always delightful Paramore) at eleven, concerts have always been an integral part of her life. While synth-driven alternative groups and solo indie acts have a special place in her heart, Dana will go to any and every show she can grab a ticket for. When not waiting outside venues for a spot at the barricade, Dana is a varsity rower and honors student at University of California, Davis.
