Oliver Tree brings Sueco and 347Aidan for 'Sold Out' show in Philadelphia

March 22, 2022

Oliver Tree's 'Cowboy Tears' tour rolled through Philadelphia after selling out weeks in advance for an iconic (and insane) sold out performance at the Fillmore that included sets from special guests Sueco and 347Aidan.

While Oliver Tree may be "newer" the alternative touring world his legacy as both a studio musician and live performer is already years ahead of his age as Tree has pioneered an artistic image unlike any other. Before Tik Tok gave artists an avenue to truly do whatever they wanted for digital content Oliver Tree launched his persona and has continued to grow it in the years that have followed. Now on tour in support of his country and alternative mash up album 'Cowboy Tears,' Tree has performed mostly sold out shows nationwide to his fans.


Joining Oliver Tree on this tour were rising stars 347Aidan and Sueco who grew to new heights with their recent material as well as success on Tik Tok during the pandemic when there was a pause in touring. 347Aidan is widely known for his song "Dancing In My Room" that spent multiple weeks as a top song on the platform but his recent EP also charted well on streaming charts. The young artist was a bit under the weather for the performance in Philadelphia he explained but it didn't keep him from delivered a great set to a crowd that was clearly eager to see him as they arrived very early in the night to catch the set.

Sueco took the stage shortly after for a set that was a non stop punk banger from start to finish that saw him diving into the crowd multiple times and even at one point getting lost in the mosh pit of the crowd. In the past year Sueco has had numerous songs climb the alternative charts and feature on streaming playlists including "SOS" (featuring Travis Barker, "Paralyzed" and most recently "Loser." His new album 'It Was Fun While It Lasted' was released during the run of this tour and it peaked at Number 1 on the alternative streaming charts briefly beating out Avril Lavigne. Sueco's set was as fun as the album itself is and while not technically perfect he delivered a true rock performance even going as far as smashing a guitar during the middle of the set. For an artist on his first tour ever Sueco shined brightest when he was having fun on stage and showcased a lot of potential to dominate the touring world as he has with the streaming world in the past year as his 30 minute set kept the crowd dancing from start to finish.

Oliver Tree's arrival to the stage was met with a thunderous roar from the crowd as he told them to get their hands up as he danced across the stage and kicked off the night with his cover of Getter's "Forget You." For those in attendance the show played out as vividly as an action movie mashed with a love drama and explaining what an Oliver Tree show is to the unfamiliar music fan is truly impossible. Tree quickly jumped into a performance of "Alien Boy" that caused the crowd to surge with excitement as he did multiple rounds of his borderline trademarked dances across the stage. At times you'd have expected the show to slow down for Oliver Tree to catch his breathe but it was in these moments things only got more insane as cows were brought out on to the stage, little motorcycles appeared and even toilet paper was sent across the stage for an "emergency" bathroom break.


A lot of artists have played the Fillmore in Philadelphia, possibly thousands at this point, but none of them are Oliver Tree. In an alternative genre that is increasingly competitive Tree has created a niche that is truly all his own and at the same time created some amazing art that deserves to be recognized as among the best in the scene. Vocally Tree delivered flawless performances of all of his "hits" and a dozen more songs from his albums that were both entertainingly remade into their live renditions. Highlights of the set certainly included the lead single "Cowboy Tears" but some deeper cuts like "Cigarettes" and "Miracle Man" also shined bright in the lengthy set that Tree brought for Philadelphia.

Across 20 songs Oliver Tree took the sold out crowd at the Fillmore Philadelphia on a musical journey out of this planet and be the time he returned them back to Earth they were exhausted from singing and dancing all night. There is only one Oliver Tree and his trajectory is only upwards from here as it has been since his debut. If you missed the 'Cowboy Tears' tour you missed a once in a life time experience of a show with killer support - until Oliver Tree decides to hit the road again and outdoes himself as he has time and time again.

Say Anything brings the 20th Anniversary of "Is A Real Boy" to Harrisburg

By Matt Christine • November 16, 2024
Harrisburg became a musical confessional as Say Anything rolled into town on their current tour celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their iconic album, ' Is a Real Boy .' From the moment Max Bemis sauntered onto the stage—equal parts ringleader and raconteur—the Harrisburg Midtown Art Center was brimming with a raw, unfiltered energy that threatened to crack the building’s foundations. This wasn’t just a concert; it was a communal exorcism wrapped in clever, sardonic lyrics and the bombast of a band that knows how to leave it all on the stage. The show opened not with a bang but with a tease. Dim lights swirled over the crowd as the haunting opening chords of “Belt” crept into the room. Bemis strutted onto the stage like a grungy Shakespearean antihero, clutching his mic stand as if it were a scepter. His voice—still jagged and impassioned—tore through the iconic first line: "And, the show begins with a song of rebelion." Max Bemis commanded the stage with an energy that felt almost paradoxical—half self-aware rock star, half self-deprecating poet. Between songs, he riffed on the absurdity of revisiting Is a Real Boy in 2024, joking about its youthful angst but simultaneously embracing it like an old friend. His voice, raw and imperfect, added an authenticity that perfectly suited the evening’s themes of insecurity, longing, and rebellion. Highlights included a searing rendition of "Alive with the Glory of Love," which had couples clinging to each other and strangers bonding over the sheer force of nostalgia. The performance was equal parts theatrical and heartfelt—a reminder that Say Anything’s music lives in the messy spaces between irony and earnestness. Despite his scattershot banter, Bemis’ vulnerability anchored the evening. Songs like “The Futile” and “I Want to Know Your Plans” felt like pages torn from a diary, raw and confessional. Bemis has always walked the line between poet and provocateur, and here he danced on that edge, charming the audience with his uncanny ability to make dysfunction feel universal. Say Anything shows have always been as much about the crowd as the band. Last night’s audience was no exception, embodying the album’s themes of existential frustration and defiant joy. From the front-row diehards to the casual fans in the back, the energy was infectious. One highlight came during “Woe,” where Bemis handed the mic to a fan who belted the bridge with so much conviction you’d think they wrote it. The show closed with "Admit It!!!," arguably the most blistering takedown of hipster culture ever written. Bemis delivered the song’s venomous tirade with a grin, and the crowd ate up every word. As the band exited the stage, Bemis lingered for a moment, looking out at the audience as if soaking in the last bits of shared energy. No frills—just a perfect, abrupt ending to a night that didn’t need embellishment. Say Anything’s performance of Is a Real Boy in Harrisburg was a reminder of why this album remains a touchstone for so many. It’s not just the music, though that alone is impressive—it’s the way Bemis and company capture the messiness of being human. For a few hours, we weren’t just an audience; we were co-conspirators in an emotional heist. So if this tour is coming to your city, don’t miss it. You’ll leave hoarse, sweaty, and maybe a little more in touch with the awkward, angry teenager you used to be—or still are. And really, isn’t that what rock and roll is all about?
