No detail was left untouched at the Amex UNSTAGED event

Earlier this month American Express Canada wined and dined a select few for an intimate and exciting experience as part of their UNSTAGED music series.

Guests were transported in style , to the Revolution Recording Studio in Leslieville. As ever, American Express Canada left no details overlooked when doling out the VIP treatment to ensure that their guests were comfortable and well taken care of.

This particular UNSTAGED event was the broadcast of Grammy award winning American rock band, Kings of Leon, as they performed at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, England. While chatting and watching the concert, we were treated to a delicious dinner created by the Food Dudes. The poppy seed salmon niçoise salad with grapes, quail eggs, yellow beans, buttermilk vinaigrette, olive purée and micro greens was better with each bite. The warm pecan crusted pie topped with Chantilly cream and chocolate ganache was melt in your mouth goodness –worth every calorie.

The Kings of Leon UNSTAGED production was part of a larger American Express series that connects music enthusiasts with the artists they love via an interactive online experience. So, there was a lot of tweeting and instagraming about our experiences of the evening. It’s quite inclusive actually, being a part of a larger movement of people who are all talking about and enjoying the same experiences as you.

The whole evening was delightful–almost as good as being across the pond to watch the Kings rein.
