Monica Arevalo writes the weekly "Make the Scene" blog detailing the live music happenings around Downtown Phoenix. An ASU Downtown student, Monica was born and raised in the East Valley and fed music since she was a little girl. When Monica isn’t at home in front of her laptop or a book, she’s at a concert losing her voice and dodging elbows to get to the front of the stage.
