Last year, a friend thought that it would be fun to put together some statistics about my year in music so I’m continuing the tradition this year!

I count each day at a festival as one show although I count each set separately.

37,000± – Largest-capacity venue I was in (Fenway Park – I was unable to find the exact seating count for concerts at Fenway Park)

1,104 – Miles to the furthest venue (3rd & Lindsley in Nashville)

300 – Number of sets I saw

270 – Different bands I saw

178 – Bands I saw for the first time in 2014

177 – Shows I saw

150 – Most expensive show I saw (Carole King on 4/15 at Tupelo Music Hall)

85 – Age of the oldest performer I saw (Jimmy Cobb with 4 Generations of Miles)

26 – Most bands I saw in one venue (Lowell Summer Music Series)

22.41 – Average cost of shows (guest list shows included as $0)

22 – Venues I was in for the first time in 2014

6 – Most times I saw one band (Club d’Elf)

2.77 – Miles to the closest venue (St. John’s Coffeehouse Concerts)

If any reader has a suggestion for other interesting statistics, please leave a comment for me.
