This is such a fun band to see and sing along with. They certainly do know how to interact with their fans and they shed positivity and energy onto the crowd.
Frontman Simon Ward was barefoot and comfortable on the stage wearing a loose white shirt and a brown leather vest. He is a 21st-century hippy (covered in tattoos) encouraging his fans to do the “ hippy dance” with him. Simon was friendly and humorous when he mentioned some of his music influences by saying, “ where I grew up there were two kinds of music country and hip hop”, then he incorporated some rap in the song The Sheriff with a nod to Wu-Tang.
They ended their set with “Spirit” to leave us with one of the best ear-worms of the year!
