Trousdale’s Harmonies Soar at The Pearl in Vancouver – Live Review

Trousdale brought their Growing Pains Tour to The Pearl in Vancouver on June 16. The LA-based trio, made up of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones, put on a set that was both musically tight and emotionally open. The room was packed with fans who knew every word.

The night kicked off with a unique opening set featuring three artists (Beane, Nia Ashleigh, and buffchick) who shared the stage and passed the figurative mic between them. Each brought something different to the table, taking turns performing original songs. It was a collaborative vibe that worked, and all three left strong impressions.

Around 9pm, Trousdale arrived on stage and opened with “Lonely Night” immediately locking in the crowd. It’s a slow build with vulnerable lyrics, and a chorus that hits like a group hug. From there, they rolled straight into “Growing Pains,” the title track from their sophomore album. That one evoked hints of early HAIM.

Trousdale’s chemistry was incredible. Every member took turns at lead vocals, but their harmonies were where the magic lived. Even live, they hit those blends that most bands only pull off in the studio.

They didn’t shy away from talking in between songs either, joking about their adventures at the Canadian border last time they were here and how they lost all their merch (and a few band members), forcing them to go to the Salvation Army to buy pink, blue and green outfits. The vibe was casual, and they made The Pearl feel like a living room full of friends.

The set was mostly stacked with tracks from Growing Pains, including crowd favourites like “Second Hand Smoke,” which hit a quieter, more introspective note. They also dipped into older songs like “Movie Star,” their soft ode to all-consuming love. They dedicated this song to a couple in the audience who had just gotten married.

One standout moment came when they played “How to be 18,” a song they’ve only performed once before in Texas. It was part of a collaborative project with other artists to raise funds against Project 2025, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the U.S. The song is about bodily autonomy and the right to choose. Hearing it live felt personal, pointed, and powerful. Then, like it was no big deal, they launched into a three-part Wicked medley, complete with “Defying Gravity.” No surprise: they nailed it.

The encore was effective. They closed with “The Ick,” a song about the moment someone gives you the creeps out of nowhere. Judging by the cheers, everyone could relate. Then came “Last Bloom” and the heartbreaker “If I’m Honest,” which they sang in unison, a cappella.

Trousdale isn’t just another harmony-driven trio with cute stage outfits (though they were colour-coordinated, as always, Quinn in green, Georgia in pink, Lauren in blue). They’re sharp songwriters, stellar performers, and clearly having the time of their lives. If this was your first time seeing them live, it won’t be your last.
