Cage the Elephant and Young the Giant in Cleveland

Cage the Elephant’s The Neon Pill Tour featuring Young the Giant came through Blossom Music Center in Cleveland on Monday September 9th alongside openers Willow Avalon and Bakar. This incredible lineup had the massive crowd dancing on the lawn throughout the night.

Young the Giant’s set included a wide range of their music including massive hits such as “Cough Syrup,” “Mind Over Matter,” and closing out with “My Body.” Lead vocalist Sameer Gadhia delivered a breathtaking and deeply moving performance. Following Young the Giant, Cage the Elephant came in hot (literally) with an intense pyrotechnic display during their first song “Broken Boy.” Although lead vocalist Matt Shultz is currently bound to a scooter due to a recently broken foot, he found unique ways to use his knee scooter throughout the show and delivered an incredible high-energy performance. Cage the Elephant had the crowd singing along throughout the set, closing out with “Cigarette Daydreams” and “Come a Little Closer.”

 If you have a chance to catch the Neon Pill Tour featuring Young the Giant and Cage the Elephant- run (or scoot) to get your ticket! Check out photos below.

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness at the House of Blues in Cleveland

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness performed a truly unique concert experience at the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio on Saturday December 2nd for his New Friends tour. Andrew McMahon, formerly of the band Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, began releasing music under Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness back in 2014 and has continued releasing incredible music.

McMahon delivered a phenomenal high-energy show from start to finish. This dynamic set had multiple guests onstage, frequent visits to the crowd, and even featured a fan onstage for the song “Highdive.” The show was complete with stunning camping visuals, a kooky park ranger, shadow puppets, marshmallows, and last but not least – a crowdsurfing llama.
