Oh, man do I love both of these bands.

I was so excited for the opportunity to see Joan and The Aces again, I found both of these bands as the opening act for Coin on two separate tours and it was amazing to get to see them play a show together.

Joan is quickly becoming one of my favorite bands, I’ve seen them three times now and each time I get more and more eager to hear their new music and see how much has changed over the last few years. Their debut ep, Portra, is on heavy rotation in my car and has some of my go-to “dance it out” songs.

This show was my second time seeing The Aces and I could not believe how much they had grown over the last year. The women on stage were powerful, confident, and everything that I aspire to be. My jaw was on the floor the second that they came onto the stage, it was their world and we were all just living in it.

Hopefully both of these artists will take another trip to Austin soon, I know I’ll be there when they do!
