[DID NOT ATTEND: August 20, 2026] Emm / Bentley Robles / Kyle Payne
I recently came across Emm on my feed and was intrigued–a powerful voice–sometimes she simply screamed–and a wild stage show. I made a note that I wanted to see her live. And then a few days later she announced a show at Nikki Lopez. I hadn’t heard of Nikki Lopez (although I have since been there). I was looking forward to seeing this future star in a really small venue. Although I did wonder how she would do a huge stage show in this small venue.
Damien Demax Official recorded her set. She came out with an elaborate costume and two backing dancers. She sang two backing tracks, although she did play guitar from time to time
But on the day of the show, the rain and storms were insane. All day it was torrential and scary and the storms were threatening Philly that evening. So, even though I wanted to go, since I wasn’t entirely sure what I was getting into, I decided against going.
According to the video, the show looked fun and was pretty short. There was some audience interaction.
I hadn’t heard of Bentley Robles but I listened to a few songs and found him to be an energetic pop singer. Not really my thing but fun. He seemed very flamboyant which I assumed would lead to a fun show.
Damien Demax Official recorded Bentley’s set which was rather understated (unlike his cool outfit). He sang to his backing tracks. He has a great voice and charisma. There’s a funny intro that he says he broke up with the guy he wrote the next song about–it’s the first time he’s singing his hit about someone he doesn’t like anymore. He looks like a fun performer.
