Caroline Rose – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA – April 12, 2024
Union Transfer was the place to be on Friday as Caroline Rose brought their North American tour to Philly. It was a beautiful evening that was even better if you had tickets to this show. Singer-songwriter Caroline Rose was nominated for Best Recording Package at the 2024 Grammy Awards for their latest album, The Art of Forgetting. This tour is an incredible work of art, the stage presence Caroline holds for their fans is something you rarely see. The crowd was so excited for the night.
Caroline began the set with the song “Tell Me What You Want,” one of their more popular songs off the new album. The audience, so diverse in age, were all going equally insane for the singer. After a few more songs off the same album, Caroline had some dialogue with the audience in between songs. The concert turned into what felt like a comedy show, them joking around with the crew and the audience laughing along.
The concert felt so intimate with how close the singer seemed to be with the crowd, belting their hearts out during the songs and joking along together in between them. The switch between the more mellow songs like “Stockholm Syndrome” off their newest album and the more upbeat songs off their older albums like Loner and Superstar. They left the stage with “Cry!” a powerful and loud song to almost end the night.
Coming back onstage strong with the encore, Caroline played “I Took a Ride,” a magical, synth-heavy, moody number. Then, “The Kiss,” an angelic way to end the show, these two songs back-to-back flowed so well and gave the audience a beautiful end to the show. The audience was in awe of Rose as they ended the set. Nonstop applause and cheering for the band and lead singer as they exited the stage.
It was an incredible show, complete with a variety from Caroline’s discography, new and old, and the audience loved it. Such a tasteful show, full of amazing music, lots of laughs, and lots of love in the audience. A beautiful night at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer. I highly recommend going out to a Caroline Rose show.

Bright Eyes - November 16, 2022 Philadelphia, PA
After almost 18 years… (since about the age of 14 years old) I have finally seen Bright Eyes live!
Around freshman year of high school I started to get into alternative/indie rock and stumbled upon this little band called Bright Eyes. It’s truly insane to me that even 18 years later I still resonate with and love his music. I take major pride in growing and changing from my adolescent self in nearly every way possible, but the love I have for the music I grew up with remains the same. I truly think part of the reason I’m super introspective and self-aware is from consuming music like Bright Eyes at such an early age. Conor Oberst continues to remain a lyrical genius, and his performance last night did not disappoint. He was engaging with the crowd, dancing, thanking and bantering with his bandmates, and overall had such an infectious energy. It was everything I’d hope it would be.
Sharing this experience with my boyfriend Shaun was super special. When I met Shaun, the first thing we talked about was music. Music is such an important part of my life and the way it has shaped me. Both of us have been listening to Bright Eyes for the same length of time and have never seen them live so it was so awesome to get to do this together.
