Going out on a Monday, knowing that you have work the next day is one thing, but that excitement of clocking out from a 9am-5pm job, and driving to the Fillmore in Charlotte to see The Beaches perform is definitely next level, especially when you know that the band has a few fun and exciting songs to perform.
The Beaches took a stop in the city on Sept. 30 on their ‘Blame My Ex’ Tour, with supporting acts by Charlie Houston. Houston, who opened for the band, started us off with some mellow tunes, which is something I needed after a long day of work. The audience was also in for a treat as Houston played a cover of “Year 3000” by the Jonas Brothers.
As The Beaches began to perform, three words came to mind: energetic, powerful, and fierce. The band not only served looks but with their talent, their performance was completely unforgettable. Leandra Earl and Kylie Miller amazing guitar playing, the fun and mesmerizing voice of Jordan Miller, and Eliza Enman-McDaniel’s wicked talent on drums made it all worthwhile. Songs such as “Blame Brett,” “Jocelyn,” and “Shower Beer,” filled the venue of excited fans. Throughout their whole performance, it felt like one extended weekend, which was very well needed.
I have never really liked Mondays, but after seeing The Beaches and Charlie Houston live in concert, it’s safe to say that I appreciate the day a bit more as I either put my headphones on at work or turn up the radio in my car, with the band and Houston playing through the speakers on full blast. I may or may not say this a lot, but these two artists are definitely going on my playlists on Spotify, where I will listen to their songs on a constant repeat.
