Jake Scott’s show at The Underground in Charlotte was not only a memorable night for everyone in attendance, but also almost poignant – it was like a love letter.
Opening for Scott on his heartfelt night in Charlotte was MaRynn Taylor. Although there were many technical difficulties, Taylor was able to prevail. Sharing her music was a love letter in itself: her single “Pretty Much” speaks to the young girls who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders of being a certain standard on how they look. As she sang her new single, I couldn’t help but tear up on how honest and vulnerable Taylor was. It was almost as if she was speaking to a 12 year old me.
As Scott took the stage, he proclaimed, “Man, I love y’all.” Throughout the night, he not only expressed his love and admiration for the city, but he also continuously shared stories of growing up, moving away from his hometown, and marrying the love of his life. In every song that Scott sang and every story that he told, he got up close and personal with the audience. For instance, the story behind his single, “Venezia,” was a memorable one – it was about being whisked away on a trip to Venice with his wife and getting the opportunity to eat spaghetti for breakfast while being captivated by the beauty that the city had to offer.
The night was overall a love letter to Scott’s wife, and I couldn’t be more happy to be a part of it and to become more excited for what Scott has to come in future projects.
