[DID NOT ATTEND: June 6, 2025] The Head and the Heart / Futurebirds / Anna Graves
One of the worst shows I’ve been to was The Head and the Heart at this very venue in 2019.
It wasn’t the band’s fault, it was the crowd. They were terrible. And I’m not going to revisit the details. We saw THATH in New Brunswick and the show was a much better experience. But it also happened to be the same night as The Last Dinner Party’s only Philly show and I’m really bummed to have missed that one.
So THATH have a bit of a curse on them for me. But there was no way I was going back to that venue for this band.
Futurebirds are from Georgia and sound like a country Tom Petty. Not something I’d be excited to see, although they’re probably fun at a beach concert.
Anna Graves is an alt-folk artist who was raised on a farm in southern Minnesota. She left home chasing big dreams and bright lights, only to return years later and rediscover the mystical magic that first sparked her songwriting. She has a pretty voice and is probably delightful live, although she’s not that exciting to me.
