Chicago native David Kushner took the stage at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday, November 22nd, for his second night of The Dichotomy Tour in Los Angeles, California.

Henrik started the night off by opening for Kushner and brought South Jersey music to Southern California. Henrik is no stranger to viral success on social media. Among his feel-good music, he performed his hit “Half of Forever”, which became a trending song online. He even brought out a surprise guest, Noah Kahan. Well, not really, but he did a surprise cover of “Stick Season”, and the crowd went wild.

Kushner graced the stage, starting the night off with “Darkerside”, a track from his most recent album, The Dichotomy.

He put out his first song, “Miserable Man”, in 2022, and it was his first song to go viral on social media. Continuing to put out successful and meaningful music, he released “Daylight” in 2023, changing the trajectory of his career and his first song to have over one billion streams on Spotify. The song tells the story of one’s struggle between good and evil and is based on biblical references he learned as a child.

After performing a few songs from his current project, he takes us back with a song from his 2022 album, Footprints I Found, “Mr. Forgettable”. He tells the audience it is about his Grandfather, who passed away from Alzheimer’s.

Continuing to take the audience on a story with his music, he talks about his next song, “Burn”, which is about an abusive relationship. His vulnerable lyrics and unique tone stand out to his fans, and his voice soared through the venue.

Each song he sang told a story, but one common thread was his faith. He shared with his fans that his faith is rooted in his music and how important it is to him, which shined through his performances.

He ended the night with “You and Me”. But what about the songs I mentioned earlier? The show wasn’t over as he walked back on stage for an encore of “Miserable Man” and “Daylight”. The crowd went wild, screaming, “Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time.”

Another great night for music in Los Angeles.
