On October 28th
I had the amazing opportunity to see BlessTheFall on their To Those Left Behind
headlining tour.
Sweet baby Jesus, It
was amazing.
This was my first
time seeing BlessTheFall live and it was definitely a night I will remember
forever. Among the opening acts was Cane Hill, a nu metal band from New
Orleans. While they were fairly new to me, they did not disappoint in kicking
off the show. Next up were BTF label mates, Oceans Ate Alaska, hailing all the
way from the UK. They performed songs from their debut album Lost Isles, which
is available now on iTunes! If you haven’t checked these guys out, seriously
what are you even waiting for?

Next, Emarosa took
the stage. I had the chance to get up close and personal with vocalist, Bradley
Walden, when he came into the crowd during their first song. The crowd went
insane. This was something that had never happened to me at a show before so
the whole time I was like:
Lastly, Stick To Your
Guns came on right before BlessTheFall and they absolutely killed it. One thing
that stood out was the heartfelt speech about violence and believing that no
one in inherently bad, just good people and people who haven’t been given
enough chances. It was so important because I appreciate musicians that want to
deliver a positive message.
And then finally…BlessTheFall
hit the stage.
This was my first BTF
show and while I’ve been to many shows before, I’ve never been to a show that
had that much energy. The audience was insane, the amount of high energy and
dancing, and fans passionately belting out the lyrics to every song- it was a
sight to see.
They also took the
time to speak genuinely with the audience. For some of us this was our first BTF
show, and some it was their 7th time. No matter how many times any
of us had seen them perform, in that moment we were all there to support a band
that means so much to us.
After listening to their
newest album To Those Left Behind on repeat on days on end, it was amazing to
finally see some of these songs performed live. "Up in Flames" and "Walk on Water"
are even better in person. Looking up into Beau’s face and having him directly
sing these songs to you...it’s an experience that you’ll never forget.
They finally closed with “You Wear a Crown,
but You’re No King” and the place when crazy. It was the perfect end to an
amazing show. I’m still re-watching the videos I took last night. The
post-concert depression is real.
If you have a chance
to see them live on the To Those Left Behind Tour definitely get tickets. You won’t be
disappointed. Get tickets here.
Make sure you also
get To Those Left Behind on iTunes!
