Charlotte Sands at The Deluxe 9.7.22

September 08, 2022 by Josh Custer in Show Review, Concert

The only thing from this show that I don’t understand is how there weren’t more people there. Charlotte has a very passionate fanbase, and currently has 1.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify; however at this show the numbers may not have reflected that. This is an artist that is poised to make major waves through out the genre and industry, and has been doing that with many of the guest spots she has had and tours she has opened for. 2023 is going to be her year, her name will be everywhere and she will be playing sold out shows in no time as the headliner.

Tonight Alive Rock The Old National Center

January 23, 2018 by Josh Custer in Concert

Tonight Alive kicked off their co-headlining tour with Silverstein a few days ago. Last night the Get Free Tour made its stop in Indianapolis at The Old National Center. Tonight Alive is touring in support of their new album, Underworld, released by Hopeless Records on January 12th.

From the moment that the band took the stage they had a hold of the crowd. The presence of the band draws in fans within just seconds of the first song. Kicking off the set with “How Does It Feel” from their album Limitless the crowd began to sing along immediately.

Continuing with "Lonely Girl" and "The Ocean" before taking long time fans back to their debut album with "Listening" and "What are you so scared of?" which the crowd loved.

Playing new tracks can be difficult for a number of reason, but especially when the album is only about a week old. The uncertainty of how crowds will react, unsure of how many will know the lyrics, and the fact that the songs haven't been practiced as much. This wasn't the case for Jenna and crew. "Crack My Heart" was instantly a hit with the fans. Many in the crowd were able to sing right along with Jenna's powerful lyrics and melodic hook.

Closing the set with "Temple" may be the best choice, ending with such a powerful and energy filled track is sure to leave a lasting impression on people. There was not a single person left standing still during the final song. See photos from the show here.

I've seen Tonight Alive perform a few times over the last couple of years and they just keep getting better each time. I think with the support of Hopeless Records and their fan base 2018 is going to be a monumental year for the band, and I look forward to seeing what they will accomplish.
