Oh Wonder ft. Kevin Garrett

Cool venue, insane amounts of talent, and an overall amazing atmosphere, the Oh Wonder concert featuring Kevin Garrett at The Granada was a night to remember.  After a bit of a rough start to the evening (we didn’t actually have the tickets like we thought we did :/ ), I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the concert as much as I wanted to, but as soon as Oh Wonder’s opening act-Kevin Garrett sang his first note, I knew I wouldn’t regret the amount of sleep I was going to lose for that night.

The concert venue was very simple, but had a “hipster” vibe to it. The lighting and just general closeness of the whole area made the concert even more special. With a capacity of only 1,700 (and that’s pushing it) it really felt like we were RIGHT next to the artists.



The opening act was Kevin Garrett, and as soon as I got out of the concert, I downloaded his EP Mellow Drama. He is insanely talented, and knew how to work a stage well. His style of music was PERFECT to open up for Oh Wonder, and he was really good about interacting with the crowd. If I ever have a chance, I would go to one of his concerts in a heartbeat.


Even after a grand total of almost 3 and a half hours of waiting, Oh Wonder did nothing less than perfect. This duo sounded even better live than they did on their album, and they were so much fun to watch perform. Josephine was so quirky and happy through the whole performance, and Anthony just kept smiling and jamming out on his guitar.  They opened up with their single Livewire and the lighting throughout the song pulsed with every beat. It was amazing both visually, and musically, I was very impressed. If you ever have the opportunity to watch these two insanely talented humans perform live, I promise you it is worth every penny. Raw talent, with an amazing ability to run a stage with only two, it was an amazing show.
