Diva Sweetly, Pronoun, and Aaron West & The Roaring 20’s concluded their US tour in Philadelphia, at The Foundry on June 12th. There’s nothing quite like a sold out show to end on.
Diva Sweetly blew me away with their stage presence and high energy. Each member seemed to be having a genuinely fun time on stage and interacting with the audience. I hadn’t listened to their music before going into the show, but they turned me into a fan right away; I’m looking forward to the next time they come to the Philly area.
Soon after, Pronoun began her set. I love her sound; I’ve never heard anything quite like it, so I was excited to see how that translated into a live performance. Pronoun immediately engaged the audience with jokes, anecdotes, and conversation. Her entire set was great, and the raw emotion she showcased in every song really captivated me. I really enjoyed hearing the little twists she would spin on her songs; she’s the kind of artist that you need to see live to have the full experience. Her debut record, I’ll Show You Stronger, is out now, and I highly recommend it.
Lastly, Aaron West put on a set that was truly a sight to behold. Don’t underestimate him- it’s incredible just how easily and quickly he can engage an audience. Even in the first song, the crowd was yelling the lyrics back at him, and it was clear that everyone in that room could relate to the music. The energy and emotion in the room during this show was practically tangible.
While this tour may be finished, each of the artists on the lineup have some incredible music worth listening to; check them out here:
