Breigh was in middle school in Texas, and as a kid her family moved around a lot, so music is what she gravitated towards and bonded with. “It was always with me everywhere I traveled to. I’ll never forget walking into Hot Topic. I saw this blue alien head on a tee and knew I needed it. It ended up being the Blue Album tee! Loved watching Down and All Mixed Up on MTV! Been a fan ever since!”
First show for Breigh was July 20, 2013, at Aaron’s Amphitheater in Atlanta with her bestie Anne Ekin. “Had she not invited me to the concert I would not be the excitable I am today! 311 Day 2022 will be my TWENTIETH show!!”

I was on cloud 311!” For most unique show, she chose Halloween 2021 at the Stanley Hotel. “First Halloween show and because STANLEY HALL! Amazing set, incredible Excitables, and all the feels!” Best venue, she has been to Breigh said it’s definitely Red Rocks. “This was my first Red Rocks concert and that venue and atmosphere shook my soul! I cannot wait to get back.”
For favorite songs, Breigh chose “Freeze Time” and “Face in the Wind.” As for lyrics that she loves, she chose these: “Sometimes I gotta center find out who I am, I chill out I let in the wind, I gotta feel the pulse of the planet on my skin, I got news for ya it ain’t nothin nice, We all got demons we all gotta vice, The struggle never ends, To keep it in check, But I never stop trying, To make the trek what up,” “I always say what I feel and that is a promise, nothing in life is above being honest,” and “We’re just a speck of dirt on this golf ball called Earth, so get stupid and sing.”
