Following his debut album The Attractions of Youth, Barns Courtney gives an absorbingly brilliant show at American Beauty.
Barns Courtney is greeted by an enlivened crowd, consisting of a wide mixture of fans, all threaded with a common anticipation for Courtney. This is reminiscent of Courtney’s music, one filled with a heterogeneity of sounds and evolving tones, though all built on the foundation of skilled vocals and a booming band. The music seemed to reach every corner of the venue, the band commandeering every person in the room.
Before attending, I was curious to find what type of crowd Courtney will pull. To my surprise, the venue was packed with a conglomerate of different listeners, ranging in almost every way possible. For many, this is a hard feat. Though, with his wide ambit of music, his tracks all hit a different nerve, making him easy to connect with.
The driving force behind the entire performance was the energy given by Courtney. The never-ending stream of vitality ran through each song, and the rowdy performance kept fans dancing along to the booming sound of Courtney’s voice.
With his talent, explosive stage presence, and definite sex appeal, confirmed by screaming teenage girls, Barns Courtney demands your attention.
The debut album The Attractions of Youth is available now.
