Age of The Nerd
What a night! I had the privilege of witnessing two of the most amazing bands in the indie rock scene, The Revivalists and The Head and the Heart, perform live at the Skyline stage at the Mann Music Center in Philadelphia, PA. It was a packed show, and the energy was palpable from the moment I stepped into the venue. The crowd was buzzing with excitement, and the anticipation was building up as we waited for the first act to take the stage.
The Revivalists did not disappoint. They delivered a stunning set of their hits, such as “Wish I Knew You”, “All My Friends”, and “Keep Going”, as well as some new songs from their newest album release “Pour It Out Into The Night”. The band was tight, the vocals were flawless, and the instrumentation was diverse and dynamic. They had us dancing, singing, and clapping along to every song. They also interacted with the audience, cracking jokes, telling stories, and expressing their gratitude for our support. They truly made us feel like part of their family.
The Head and the Heart followed with an equally impressive performance. They played a mix of their classics, such as “Rivers and Roads”, “Lost in My Mind” with The Revivalists, and “Down in the Valley”, and some fresh tunes from their latest release. The band showcased their harmonies, their melodies, and their emotions with every song. They had us swaying, cheering, and crying along to their beautiful lyrics. They also shared their insights, their inspirations, and their hopes for the future with us. They really made us feel like we mattered to them.
A highlight of the night was when the bands joined forces together on stage as The Head and the Heart joined The Revivalists on stage for “Kid” which appears on The Revivalists new album “Pour It Out Into The Night” and when The Head and The Heart were joined by The Revivalists on-stage to perform “Lost In My Mind”! They all have such amazing musical chemistry!
I can honestly say that this was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. The Revivalists and The Head and the Heart are two bands that have a lot of talent, a lot of heart, and a lot of love for their fans. They put on a show that was truly unforgettable. If you ever have a chance to see them live, do not hesitate. You will not regret it.
