Caroline Rose delivered a truly captivating performance at Webster Hall in New York City on April 16. The concert was in support of her latest album, The Art of Forgetting, which was released just a few weeks prior on March 24th.
The opening act for the concert was Hammydown, a talented musician who delivered a powerful set that warmed up the crowd perfectly for the headliner. Hammydown, who identifies as a trans musician, took a moment during their set to discuss the importance of representation and how Caroline had been their best friend in helping them record their album and feel safe on tour. This touching moment only added to the sense of community and connection that was present throughout the night. Their statements brought big cheers from the New York audience.
One of the most striking aspects of the show was Caroline’s decision to play the entire first set in front of large panels that hid her band, with lighting that showed only the silhouettes of her bandmates. This gave the performance a unique and mysterious quality, which only added to the already electric atmosphere. The band performed the latest album in its entirety. Caroline joked, “This is the kind of album that will be considered a classic in five years.”
Returning to the stage for her encore, Caroline removed the panels to showcase her talented band, and the energy in the room surged even higher. It was clear that Caroline had carefully thought out every aspect of her performance, from the setlist to the visuals, to create an unforgettable experience for her fans.
One of the most memorable moments of the night was when Caroline walked through the crowd during the encore as she performed. She then crowd surfed, wearing a blissful smile as she floated through the venue with her arms outstretched. This demonstrated her connection to her fans, and it was clear that the feeling was mutual, as the crowd was absolutely wild with excitement.
Overall, Caroline Rose delivered an outstanding performance that left a lasting impression on all those in attendance. Her attention to detail and willingness to take risks in her performance paid off in spades, making this a show that will not soon be forgotten. If you have the opportunity to see Caroline Rose in concert, do not hesitate – it is an experience you won’t want to miss.
