Emery & The Almost

This is my third time seeing Emery. I saw them around the early 2010s and have been a fan since around 2006. But I think this was my favorite show yet despite it being one of the smallest - or perhaps because it was the smallest. These guys just get better with age. I was able to talk to Toby briefly and even get an autograph, so that was cool. They put on such an amazing show. I'm currently a Vocals Music Student, so it was super inspiring to see such incredible and solid vocals and the whole show was so fun and stress relieving. It was super intimate, and they showed what professionals they are in coping with some of the technical issues that popped up. And the opener, Strawberry Girls was incredible and got the crowd going wild. Me and my friend definitely found a new vibe band. I can't recommend the show enough. Also Josh is just as wild as I remember, and is definitely cool as hell. He was able to even stand up somehow while crowdsurfing? Just an ideal, perfect experience. I wish I could see Emery perform more often, but I know they're doing their best to come see all their fans. I'm just glad to see them again after so long and finally get to talk to them. I'll definitely try to support them more through Emeryland after this. The venue was actually pretty decent all things considered. The bartender was cool, drink options good, price reasonable. And they had cool couches we could relax on. Everything was orderly and smooth, so no complaints here!
