Ivan & Alyosha

The small club atmosphere made listening to Twin Forks, The Lone Bellow, and Ivan Alyosha an unforgettable, personable, and a once in a lifetime experience. Stage AE is a great venue for bands to come to, being in an accessible location on the north shore. I can only hope that these bands go on to bigger and better things; I am glad that I got to see them so up close and personal.

These guys were incredible! Their live was so energetic, especially loved the drums (you did a great job, Cole Mauro!). And Tim's voice sounded even better live. They performed a full one and a half hours, mixed with old and new stuff - The Fold, Running for Cover, All This Wandering Around, Father Be Kind, Come Rain Come Shine, Be Your Man, Easy to Love, ending with It's All Just Pretend, the title song of the new album. These guys were simply amazing! The opener Kris Orlowski was surprisingly great too, has a really solid voice and good music.

Twin Forks started the night by playing an amazing set, which lead into the second opening band The Lone Bellow. I was not too familiar with the music of The Lone Bellow and Ivan & Alyosha, but was not dissappointed. All the bands sounded great and put on a great show. To cap off the unforgetable night all the bands took time to meet fans afterwards.

The Lone Bellow stole the show. They were incredibly passionate and focused

This venue was great - small and full, but not too crowded. I loved the opening act, The Lone Bellow, and Ivan and Alyosha was awesome.
