[DID NOT ATTEND: May 6 & 7, 2022] Olivia Rodrigo / Holly Humberstone

Olivia Rodrigo kind of busted out of nowhere (okay, actually Disney) with her super catchy and mildly punkish album Sour.  My daughter loved it and it is fun as heck.

The more I listened to the songs, the more I thought it would be fun as anything to see her live.

Well, evidently everyone else in the world thought the same thing because this tour (both nights) sold out in about 2 minutes.

Her songs are on the pop side but with some good loud guitars from time to time.  “Please Don’t Leave Just Yet” was the synthy song (that featured sped up samples of her voice trilling in the background.  I enjoyed the way she jumped from the synth rack to the piano mid-song.

Humberstone has a couple of EPs out.  And I had to laugh when she said she was going to play the first song she’d ever released–way back in 2019.  But it was a sweet song she’d written for her sister called “Deep End.”
