Snow Patrol at the Wiltern in Los Angeles
Finishing up a 2 day stop in Los Angeles at the historic Wiltern Theater, Snow Patrol took the stage opening with 2008’s “Take Back The City,” a rocking anthem that really got the crowd moving inside this historic venue. The band focuses on quality song writing and catchy lyrics instead of huge production to really connect with the audience directly. Most bands hide behind a wall of lighting and effects. Snow Patrol goes straight to their listening fanbase, showing off their song writing chops in what is a 30+ year musical endeavor by a few lads from the University of Dundee.
Going straight into “Chocolate,” from their 2003 album Final Straw, the band is a well polished song writers dream. Mixing ethereal pop rock with indie sensibility, but never losing a feeling that these songs were meant to be in arenas and clubs worldwide. The band took on 2011’s “Called Out In The Dark” off of the album Fallen Empires, at this point their 6th studio album. The band is currently touring behind their 2024 release The Forest Is The Path, their 9th studio album.
Opening the tour in Los Angeles was Sorcha Richardson, a singer songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. Her 3 piece band, including herself on guitars. She’s currently touring the entire world on her 2022 album Smiling Like An Idiot, a dreamy soundscape of low fi indie, folk, and pop. It’s a great primer for those looking to get into Sorcha and her song writing album. It has a polished yet indie bedroom feel.

Avenoir Brings ‘Mirage Tour’ to the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver
Rising Canadian R&B artist Avenoir brought his Mirage Tour – Act One to Vancouver on March 12, playing an intimate show at the Hollywood Theatre. The evening opened with a set from Alberta-born singer-songwriter Jonah David, who warmed up the crowd with his 2-piece band before the headliner took the stage.
Born in South Africa and raised in Edmonton, Avenoir has built serious momentum over the past year. His debut EP NOIRE earned a 2025 Juno nomination, and his music has racked up hundreds of millions of streams. The Vancouver stop was part of a short run of theatre shows meant to give fans a closer look at the fast-rising artist before a bigger year ahead.
The performance leaned into atmosphere. Avenoir kept movement minimal, often standing alone at center stage as his songs unfolded over sleek production, including great saxophone moments. His acoustics songs helped strengthen his connection with the audience. The production blended futuristic R&B with booming 808s and dramatic arrangements that gave several tracks a cinematic punch. His voice has a smoky tone that cuts through the heavy beats.
The show felt like a young artist still settling into the stage. The music is already there, and the confidence will likely follow.
