Daniel Seavey’s Live on the Loop show took place this Thursday at the iconic Blue Note Jazz Club in New York.
The multi-platinum singer-songwriter and record producer hit the stage for back-to-back shows starting at 8:00pm.
Seavey first incorporated a looper pedal into his live show during his sold-out solo Second Wind Tour last year in support of his debut album. The tour included 34 shows across North America, Europe, and Oceania.
His captivating one-man performance of layering vocals and multiple instruments in real time have consistently gone viral on social media, with clips amassing millions of views, and further establishing his reputation as one of pop’s most dynamic live performers.

At Blue Note, Seavey took the concept one step further with his first full-length live set using only the looper pedal and a rotating collection of instruments including the cello, guitar, and drums.
Kicking off with “Gateway Drug,” Seavey immediately brought arena-level energy to the intimate venue. He breezed through “Leave Me Alone,” followed by an emotional rendition of “I Tried” on the cello.
He then turned the set over to the audience, taking fan suggestions for his popular cover segment. Fans chose Harry Styles’ “Late Night Talking” and Maroon 5’s “She Will Be Loved” during the first show, while the second featured Olivia Rodrigo’s “The Cure” and Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”
The audience was also treated to performances of his two new singles, “Dream Crusher” and “Savior,” ahead of their midnight release. Both tracks appear on Seavey’s new EP, alongside the previously released singles “Time to Time (Annie)” and “Love’s a Gun,” the latter of which has become one of his biggest hits to date.
Seavey concluded his set at Blue Note with an energetic rendition of “Blame It on You.”
The crowd was filled with devoted fans who sang along to both released and unreleased songs throughout the night. Jonah Marais, his former Why Don’t We bandmate, was also in attendance.
Reflecting on the night, Seavey expressed excitement for what lies ahead.
“I’m so happy with how it turned out,” he said. “The energy in that room was just unbelievable. I did two new songs and the fans already knew all the words, and that was unreal.”
When asked about what’s next, he kept it simple: “A lot of touring and a lot of music being written. It’s onward and upward from here.”
With over 290 million global streams and 2.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, Daniel Seavey is stepping into the next phase of his career with momentum.
On October 2, he’s set to appear on the inaugural lineup of the Yours Always Music Festival in Salt Lake City, Utah, performing alongside former tourmates Benson Boone, Sombr, and other major pop, indie, and alternative artists. Keep up with Daniel Seavey here.
