They began their set with “Thousand Eyes” and continued with such songs as “Human” and “Slow and Steady.”
“Mountain Sound” was upbeat and captivating. It was followed by “Empire” and “Hunger.” During “I of the Storm,” the stage was decorated with white laser lights, and lead singer Nanna’s atmospheric voice.
“Black Water” was a newly-released tune, which started out slow and built into a true vocal power-ballad. Nanna proved that she is a true song stylist.
“Silhouettes” was a haunting and dynamic vocal performance. They continued with such noteworthy tunes as “Crystals,” “Lakehouse” and they closed with “Six Weeks,” thus leaving their fans yearning for more music.
It is safe to say that they saved their two best songs for their encore. These included “Dirty Paws” and a stellar rendition of their smash hit single “Little Talks,” which was a crystalline performance, where entire venue was reciting the lyrics verbatim.
