Dayglow at First Avenue, Minneapolis (2021-10-27)

Setlist

American singer, songwriter, and producer Dayglow triumphantly headlined First Avenue, in Minneapolis, on October 27th. Last year, Dayglow’s sold-out tour were all rescheduled or delayed, no thanks to COVID… seeing them on stage for the first time, you can just see how excited they were to be back on the road.
Opening the show was Courtship (stylized as courtship.). We’ve previously seen the band debut in Minneapolis in March 2018 and said, “…sunny electro-pop of Los Angeles duo Courtship. (yes, with the period at the end of their name), who borrowed Coasts drummer for their thirty-minute set. The twosome of Micah Gordon and Eli Hirsch have played with other acts, but joined together in 2016 and have released a handful of songs so far (‘Bad Fun’ being the latest), en route to an upcoming full-length. It was the band’s first time in town and they were well-received on songs like ‘Sun Roof’ and the island grooved rhythm of ‘Tell Me Tell Me’ (mentioning that the song was written about liking someone, but being rejected) with Hirsch also saying that local station GO 96.3 was the first radio station to play a song of theirs. Despite any dour lyrical content, their sound is unabashedly poppy, positive, and warm filled- an ideal antidote to current news headlines.”
As you can see from the photos, the band is joined by a live drummer.
Songs on their set includes plenty of songs about “guys”, like “Guy Stuff” and “Nice Guy”. They ended their set with an explosive rendition of “Stop for Nothing”.
Dayglow (aka Sloan Struble) is joined on stage by bassist Peyton Harrington, drummer Brady Knippa, keyboardist Norrie Swofford, guitarist Colin Crawford. They had a very nice professional touring setup, which includes powerful lights and a massive “DAYGLOW” backdrop that lights up. The custom light setup couldn’t have been cheap.
Struble, at age 22, don’t look old, but the way he reinvented his hair style, his old-man’s pants, and clothing choice… he does look the part of a man twice his age.
The highlight of the set is the encore, a faithful rendition of Tears for Fears’ famous song, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”
