Léon at Antone’s
This week, Swedish artist Léon brought the You and I tour to Antone’s in Austin, TX with support from Morgan Saint.
My favorite thing in the world is discovering new artists by showing up and hearing them live, it’s made even better when i find artists that I instantly fall for, something that definitely happened when I saw Morgan Saint and Léon.
When Morgan Saint came onto the stage for her performance I immediately knew that I was in for something special. Right off the bat she made it clear that it was her stage and demanded attention in the most spectacular way.
Each new song was more captivating as the set went on, everyone around me was just as in love with the performance as I was. I cannot speak enough on how beautiful of a performer Morgan Saint is, she sings every song with such conviction, and makes everyone in the room feel like it’s just them and her, singled out, so intense and intimate it feels like it’ll slip away if you stop looking for even a second.
After an amazing set from Morgan, I was even more excited to hear Léon. From the second she came on stage the crowd was screaming, so loud you could barely hear the music, and Léon couldn’t have looked happier to be there.
Léon’s performance was a perfect pop dream in a setting that almost felt like we were just listening to a friend in our living room. I had a blast dancing around in the front row, singing along to a few songs by the end.
My favorite part of the whole performance was how intently Léon interacted with the crowd. She knew how much her songs meant to everyone there, and made sure that everyone felt appreciated and welcomed. During the first song, she even knelt down and held the hand of the girl next to me for an entire verse, clearly making this fan’s night. Those moments in shows are very rare and the ones that I remember most.
If you have the opportunity to catch Léon and Morgan Saint this tour, don’t miss out, I know I’ll be there the next time they come to town.
