[ATTENDED: October 24, 2021] Sydney Sprague
I have come to really hate the Starland Ballroom. I can’t believe how long it takes them to get people inside. One shouldn’t arrive fifteen minutes before show time and miss the opening band’s first two songs.
And that’s what happened with Sydney Sprague. The people behind me were particularly looking forward to her too, particularly the song she opened her set with. So I felt bad for them.
I hadn’t heard of Sprague, but she was getting some good press and I was looking forward to her set.
After missing the first two songs, I pushed my way in to an intensely crowded Starland Ballroom. It was hard to find a good spot, but by the time I settled, Sprague was steadily rocking along. Her songs were really good–rocking and catchy.
In fact I think her live set was more rocking and intense than her album.
She ended the set with a bog sing along with the guys from oso oso in Blink-182’s “Miss You.” It definitely got the biggest response from the crowd, but when the set was over I heard a lot of appreciative voices.
