Review of Evan & Jaron's Concert

by Amanda G., 16, from US

Evan and Jaron set performed a concert on Friday, May 18th, in Concord, NH. Here's how it went.

When I arrived at Eagle Square (where the concert was to take place), I was shocked at how many people had actually showed up to see the small set Evan And Jaron were to play. Being an afternoon on a school day, I was expecting a smaller crowd of teens around my age. There were many youngsters between the ages of 4-8 whose parents brought them for a fun afternoon activity. The majority of the remainder of the crowd was college students from the nearby tech college.

After finding a place to sit where I could see the performance area, I took some time to look around and enjoy what was going on around me. There were radio station personalities celebrating their one year anniversary of a morning show, and people setting up the stage for the show that was about to start. After waiting about a half hour after the set starting time, the guys showed up and were announced.

The crowd was pumped up when they took their places with their guitars in front of two mics. They started their acoustic performance right away. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves right from the beginning. After the opening song, the guys thanked all of us for attending even in the cold weather, which I might add was rather hot for New Hampshire temps.

During the second song, Jaron started to laugh once and a while between verses. The crowd obviously found this amusing and they finished the song. They then went on to explain when they get tired, they find everything to be amusing.

After a 5 song acoustic performance, the guys had to leave. The song with the most reaction was "Crazy For This Girl," the song that took them to the top. The guys then left swiftly leaving a seated bunch of newly formed fans who were in awe of the brilliant music and the wonderful songs. Although they don't put on a show with lightning bolts and confetti, they sure keep the attention of an otherwise boredom stricken crowd.
