The xx (5/3/17)

 While I usually like to stick to the smaller venues for shows, going at least once a year to a show at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica is like a tradition. I like to look for one good show each season, and was delighted to see The xx would be performing!  Even more exciting was seeing that Sampha was opening!  I’ve been thoroughly enjoying his album, so this was an extra special treat.

And then The xx. 

"But during last night's concert at a chilly Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica, the low-end and beats came alive, giving the band space to improvise in an organic way as the XX delivered a passionate performance that warmed up guests that were bundled in blankets and jackets. You can see a slideshow of photos from the concert here.

The band played a number of tracks from their newest album, I See You, and mixed them with a good portion of the older material. The group also played a song from band member Jamie XX’s solo album."
