Inhaler & Sun Room – Theatre of the Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – March 16, 2023

Philly welcomed Inhaler for an incredible sold-out show on tour to celebrate their latest album Cuts and Bruises. Inhaler is joined by Sun Room on this tour, who most recently released their latest EP “Outta Their Minds” in late February. Fans eagerly lined up around the block, anxiously awaiting the night that was in store for them. As doors opened at 7:00, the venue quickly filled up and the excitement began!

Taking the stage first was Sun Room. Fans went wild as they came on stage and kicked off their set with “Darling,” “Sunset Blvd,” and “Summer’s Here.” Comprised of Luke Asgian, Max Pinamonti, Ashton Minnich, and Gibson Anderson, Sun Room started the night off on an incredible note. It was clear they were all having a blast on stage as they continued through their set with “Just Yesterday,” “Something That You’re Missing,” “Sunset Garage,” and a cover of “Get Off Of My Cloud” by The Rolling Stones.

This was my third time seeing Sun Room, and as always, their stage presence was captivating and they had incredible energy that got fans in the crowd up off their feet. They were met with many cheers from the audience throughout their performance. They finished their set with “Fun,” “Red Dress,” and “Cadillac,” leaving fans excited and invigorated for Inhaler’s set to begin, as well as with a lasting impression of who Sun Room is!

At around 9:00, the lights went low, and the venue was filled with screams from the crowd as Inhaler took the stage. They began their set with “These Are The Days,” “My Honest Face,” and “Totally.” The entire crowd was up off their feet jumping and cheering as Inhaler kicked off their set with incredible energy. Comprised of Elijah Hewson [son of U2 singer Bono], Josh Jenkinson, Robert Keating, and Ryan McMahon, fans were unbelievably excited to see the band taking the stage, performing once again. The atmosphere that Inhaler created in the venue was unbelievable! You could feel the happiness radiating from the fans in the crowd as they smiled, cheered, and danced throughout the entirety of the set.

Inhaler continued their set with “My King Will Be Kind,” “Now You Got Me,” and my personal favorites of the night, “Valentine,” and “Love Will Get You There.” Inhaler’s passion was unbeatable throughout their entire performance, and the energy and excitement in the room never once died down. As the set came to a close, they finished up with their songs “Who’s Your Money On? (Plastic House),” and “Cheer Up Baby.” As they ran off stage after thanking the crowd for an incredible night, the venue was quickly filled with chants for an encore as it was clear the fans weren’t ready for the night to be over. Inhaler took the stage once again and performed a two song encore of “If You’re Gonna Break My Heart,” and “It Won’t Always Be Like This.”

Overall, this was an absolutely incredible show. Both Sun Room and Inhaler had captivating and exciting performances full of so much passion, and it was really amazing to see. Make sure to stream Sun Room’s new EP “Outta Their Minds,” and Inhaler’s latest album “Cuts and Bruises,” and be sure to get out to a show and catch them on tour!

Because he has such a soft voice, I feel like i always forget Gerojim is another MASSIVE drama nerd.

Working theory that all Bugnarak are theater kids.

Ik the internet has collectively decided liking Hamilton is cringe bc ppl were writing real person fic, making founding father self inserts, and because anything that gets a big enough following must be mercilessly shunned after 6-12 months but like, I got surprise tickets to a matinee today as a bday gift and it really IS that good?

Like. I'm not USamerican. I'm not sitting here like "oh yes this is absolutely historically accurate and this is how everything went down and how these ppl were irl". Its a story. A historical adaptation. But it's a Damn Good Story. It's thematically compelling. It's emotionally resonant. It's about hunger and imagining death and ambition, about that desperation that drives you towards elusive satisfaction, about legacy and memory and the construction and telling of narratives, it's about UNEARNED GRACE and impossible forgiveness.

Like it really IS a good story, and as someone who only know these people as /characters/ and not historical figures, they're compelling characters? Their arcs are interesting? Hamilton and Burr as foils is so good? Washington as a model of leadership and of regret? Of legacy earned and unearned? ELIZA??MY EVERYTHING?? She's not a "main" character but the narrative hinges on her, when Hamilton is stripped bare of his ambition he thinks of her. She controls and saves the narrative, ultimately. It comes down to Eliza as the centre of it all, best of wives and best of women truly.

The music is a bop, the choreography fun, the set design simple but effective. Like? I get things that have a massive teen fandom can be annoying, and taking it as Historical Fact would be stupid. But as a story???? It really is that good?

Also we had an understudy as Hamilton and he was v young with such a soft higher voice and it REALLY worked esp in act 1 with the whole young scrappy hungry thing. He was also shorter than Eliza which imo. Perfect. Tiny man among a cast of largely very tall men and a few very tall women.

Spent my time while my power was out just drawing a concept for Zenos' (and possibly Durante's) ancient counterpart.

Known as the 'cynical madman' that lived on the fringes of Amaurot, Dionysus came to the capital alongside his childhood friend, who he held in unwavering regard and was the only one he'd listen to without question. He served readily as Azem's protector, and often held the line when back-up needed to be called, or helped bear the weight of the times Azem needed to make tough calls or action.

Gracie Abrams – Theatre of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – March 17, 2023

It’s about time you get to know Gracie Abrams. She is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, California. She released her debut EP “Minor” in 2020, followed by her second EP “This Is What It Feels Like” in 2021. Gracie released her debut album titled Good Riddance in 2023, including hits “I Know It Won’t Work,” “Difficult,” and “Amelie.” 

Earlier this year, Gracie announced her Good Riddance world tour, including dates in Brooklyn, San Francisco, Paris, London, and Philly! I was lucky enough to check out her show in the City of Brotherly Love.

To kick off the night, the Boston trio Tiny Habits took the stage to perform an acoustic set. The group performed singles “Tiny Things,” “One More,” “Hemenway” and even a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, and Judah Mayowa perfectly set the tone for the rest of the evening, gearing the crowd up to see Gracie. 

The lights went down, and the crowd erupted with excitement. The first few notes of “Where Do We Go Now?” started playing and the energy in the room grew even more. She then played “This is What the Drugs Are For” and “21,” interacting with the crowd throughout each song. Gracie knows how to make a crowd feel appreciated. She held eye contact with fans her entire set, singing her lyrics to them while holding their hands. 

This show was special because it was not only Gabe Smith, a member of Abrams’ band’s birthday, but also St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate Gabe’s special day, a cake was brought out and the entire TLA sang “Happy Birthday.” To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, fans wore green outfits and accessories, including shamrock headbands and emerald-green cowboy hats. At one point during the show, someone passed their green cowboy hat, adorned with LED lights and a princess crown, to the front of the stage. Abrams happily took the hat and wore it for a couple of songs. 

Later in her set, Gracie went on to play fan-favorites “Camden,” “Feels Like,” and “I Miss You, I’m Sorry,” closing her set with “Right Now.” This was such a special show to attend because it not only included songs from all of her releases, but it is her biggest headlining tour.

She’ll also be heading out to open for Taylor Swift on her “Eras Tour” this April, so you’re in for an incredible show if you can attend any of those!
