Conan Gray @ TD Garden – Wednesday, February 25 with Esha Tewari
If you watched the MTV music awards last year, then you would have seen the amazing performance of Conca Gray’s song “Vodka Cranberry.” The visuals of him being Romeo for his sleeping lover was intense and powerful. Gray’s music is no different. Each song has a burst of emotion and you can tell that the lyrics actually mean something to him. When I first heard Conan Gray, his songs were cute, bedroom pop songs that were featuring in “Heartstopper.” Since then, his sound has matured and his fame has increased tenfold. Every bit of the attention that he gets has been deserved, and I have enjoyed watching him grow over the years.

redveil @ Paradise Rock Club – Wednesday, February 25
Just last year, redveil released one of the most interesting Hip-Hop albums I’ve heard in recent memory. sankofa is his fourth studio album, and is a coming of age for the young rapper from Washington D.C. The 21-year-old has been consistently releasing music for the past couple of years, and each album he differentiates himself from other rappers in his age group. His style reminds me of a maturer Tyler, the Creator, and he is still coming into his own. This is a concert that you won’t want to miss!

Peter McPoland @ Royale – Friday, February 27 with Dug
Peter McPoland has one of the more interesting stories in the music industry. I remember, the first time that I had heard his music was back in 2020 when he was still doing bedroom pop. Since then, he has become a music sensation on TikTok. His music is a mix between pop, indie, and folk to create a sound that he himself truly owns. This is a concert you do not want to miss out on!
