This was a last minute show with some friends offering up a free ticket. If I were going to see Mumford & Sons live, Blossom is the place I’d like to see them. The weather was looming this day and I was able to see a few good songs, but the weather was telling me I should bug out early. Glad I did - because it became a SPECTACLE. The drive out of the valley was a became treacherous quickly. We were weather warnings and was notified that the show was on hold. I’m so glad I left when I did!
Opening I got to see Good Neighbours, who were quite charming fellas.
My third show in a row at Globe Iron, and my 4th this month! They’ve been killing it. This is also a long way away from when I saw Perfume Genius at The Sco in Oberlin back in 2012! Beyond his songs being as good as ever - he’s become quite the showman! He’s making the most of that stage with a rotating platform, step stools, and a yoga ball! The lighting was also spectacular.
Another concert at Globe Iron! This time I was getting to see Santigold. Having last seen her at House of Blues in 2016, I was excited to see her again at this venue. Of course Santigold made the most of her performance with great beats and sychrnonized dancing! Great show!! Can't wait for new music.
