Just sharing my appreciation and discovery...
As a 41yr old father of 2 who grew up your classic white suburban hard rock boy, I've been relying more and more on my 13yr old daughter as an avenue to hear new music, lol. She and I discovered Lindsey Stirling a couple of years ago and have made a habit/tradition of traveling to new cities to line up with her concerts; she's the best little travel buddy I could ask for.
We were lined up to see Lindsey in Bend, OR, 3 weeks ago to mark show #7, and the first with an opener called "Pvris" (perv-is? p-vriss?) that we hand't heard of and that I didn't think to proactively go look for info on or listen to.
So imagine my surprise when we settled in for the opener......and holy shit. I was absolutely transfixed. I won't hang on the music itself as you all know this already (fantastic, creative, killer vocals, etc), but I was *blown away* by the pure quality of the performance. The performance was incredibly tight. Lots of times show openers suffer from soundchecks tuned for the headliner, but they sounded magnificent. I was immediately doing white-dad-head-bobbing to the driving beat. And Lynn's voice was so clear and impressive. As a 3-piece I wasn't expecting huge range or virtuosity in the music, but damn.
And yeah, again, you all know this, but the music itself was just so, so interesting. Enough so that the Pvris (which I now know how to pronounce) "Essentials" playlist on Apple Music has essentially been on repeat in my car for the past 3 weeks.
These guys really made me re-fall in love with the idea of discovering not just new music, but fantastic and unexpected music. Glad there's still artists out there doing things in incredibly interesting and meaningfully different ways.
Someone point me to another group I should learn about next.
