This week, Brett Eldredge took London by storm at his headline show at London’s O2 Kentish Town, ahead of the release of his forthcoming studio album – Songs About You.
Brett Eldredge has long stood as a fan favourite amongst UK country fans. Every trip he takes to the UK is lauded and his audiences continue to grow, most fans unable to miss another show given the energy of his live set. His performance at O2 Kentish Town did not disappoint in the slightest, running the gamut from a taster of the new music to come from his forthcoming record Songs About You to the well-worn classics, from ‘Beat of the Music’ to ‘Don’t Ya.’
As ever Eldredge has an immense ease and easy stage presence, making his performance seem easy from the rock-tinged ‘I Feel Fine’ to the stripped-back, acoustic moment on ‘The Long Way’ – hearing the latter in a way that we have never heard it before. Easy highlights were the sensational new material – the gospel-tinged ‘Holy Water’ and the whiskey-imbued ‘Songs About You.’ Eldredge throughout captivated the audience, leading them smoothly from the party tracks into the vulnerable and emotional moments. With every visit, Eldredge appears transcendent, engaging his fans with apparent ease. It was a phenomenal show, showing the return to form of live music.
