Wilco and Nick Lowe play psychedelically satisfying show
On Friday Sept. 17, Chicago-based alt-rock group Wilco and British singer/songwriter Nick Lowe provided Massey Hall in Toronto with an unforgettable three hours of energetic indie rock and audience sing-alongs.
As Massey Hall slowly filled, the buzz of anticipation was everywhere. Audience members chatted away casually in the warmly lit venue until the lights dimmed. A roar of applause welcomed Nick Lowe as he humbly stepped out to center stage to play a solo acoustic set lasting about an hour.
Despite having a minor cold (for which he politely apologized), Lowe's soft voice still had all the necessary presence and emotion to hold the audience in the palm of his hand. His set featured groovy acoustic songs like "Cruel to Be Kind" and the lighthearted and comical "All Men Are Liars" that had the audience clapping, singing and laughing along.
While Lowe charmed the audience with his energetic repertoire, he showed that he was equally skilled at captivating hearts with sensitive ballads like "I Read a Lot" and a beautiful cover of Elvis Costello's "Alison." He wasted no time between numbers, and after he finished his set, he exited with a bow that was equally as humble and quick as his entrance.
