    Joshua Bassett Truly Put On A Show In Los Angeles

    The Golden Years Tour kicked off in Phoenix, Arizona on July 30th and ended its North American leg on September 3rd in Los Angeles, California and we were there to see it all. Stemming as a promotional tour for his debut album, The Golden Years, Joshua Bassett lit up the stage and brought an insane amount of energy to Los Angeles.

    Not only did Joshua sing some of our favorite songs from his new album, he also sang some our favorite songs from his EP, Sad Songs in a Hotel Room and some of his other popular singles. Saying the fans screamed their lungs out when he surprised us with an acoustic version of the song ‘Sad Songs in a Hotel Room’ would be an understatement.

    Before each and every song, Joshua gave us a brief introduction and walked us through the thought processes behind his songs. He really made us feel like we were more than just his fans. But don’t get it twisted, for every slow, heart-wrenching song, there was an upbeat dancing song that made us forget it was a Tuesday night. We were dancing like there was no tomorrow with some of his top songs like ‘Secrets’ and ‘Feel Something.’

    Halfway through his set, Joshua brought out Jenna Raine to sing their song, ‘Don’t Let Me Down,’ as well as pulling three fans up on stage during ‘Circles’ to line dance with him. Joshua was so happy to be on that stage, and he made it very clear when he talked about how his music not only inspired him to keep going, but hoped that it inspired other people to keep going and not give up on their dreams.

    During ‘Different,’ towards the end of his set, Joshua walked through the crowd and gave soooo many fans little handshakes as a small token of gratitude for helping him get to where he is now. It was so touching and sweet, and we were beyond excited to be there, experiencing this moment with everyone else.

    Back in August when Joshua first released The Golden Years, we were absolutely taken aback by the songs, and hearing them in person just made the songs that much more connectable. He put on a show of a lifetime in Los Angeles and we would do anything to see it again!

    PHOTOS: Greta Van Fleet Leaves Us In Awe After Their Connecticut Show!

    We recently got to witness Greta Van Fleet make yet another great stop at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. From pyrotechnics to quick remarks from lead singer, Josh Kiszka, we got to jam out with stylish and kind folks. No strangers to travel, this stop was one of many on their current leg, however, they still managed to make it feel the night was an exclusive experience. Here is what went down and some key takeaways to love.

    We’re Blaming Brett, DUH!

    The opener for this leg of tour was The Beaches, a favorite girly-pop rock band that has been climbing the ranks recently. From their top hit, ‘Blame Brent,’ they have gained national attention with the girls, gays, and theys (and also Jimmy Kimmel). Their career, so far, has been spent on Billboard Canada’s top Breakthrough Artist of the Year, sixteen (16) weeks on Canada’s alternative radio, and multiple tour dates with Greta Van Fleet.

    We were excited to see them jam out on stage and also jam together. Creating that close-knit feel, they took the time to make sure their bandmates were having fun. With guitarist Leandra Earl’s flirty nature, the band took turns in the limelight as she interacted with them. For being a Friday night, they sure did know how to keep us hooked and ready for more.

    Our minds were set on Gold and Glam after the Beaches. Right off the bat, they started with ‘The Falling Sky’ from their latest album, Starcatcher. Not only did this song live up to its airy and profound nature, but Greta Van Fleet has also added pyrotechnics for some songs. Fans were jumping up and down letting the music take control. Even after the curtain dropped the cheering stayed and took over.

    Fans Fans! Friends!

    From the moment they stepped out on stage, they held closely to their fans in the front row and in the nosebleeds. If there is anything you should know about Greta Van Fleet is that their message is closely intertwined with their fans/their fleet. Fans from near and far gather for multiple shows, some showing up on birthdays, others on recent breakups. Their fan base has grown with them and from the looks of it will keep up as the band continues to give back tenfold. We are also excited to read crowd signs and these took a sweetness to them asking to write tattoos, to sing ‘Happy Birthday’, and some even for a few hugs.

    Farewell for Now

    We are still glowing about getting to taste a little of what Greta Van Fleet has to offer-but their tour isn’t over. With some more acoustic sets still in the works, Greta Van Fleet is still hot on the press for a few more nights. You can watch closely as they tour via their Instagram or, you know, just stay here for a little as we hope to meet them again on the big stage very soon. But until then, we bid you farewell and leave this parting gift of some photos. We love Greta Van Fleet over here at The Honey POP and know they will be up to some pretty cool stuff in their career.
