Elle King is my favorite alternative artist and seeing her live was an intimate and awesome experience.<br \/>\nThe first opening performer named Skrizzley Adams was just an artist with his guitar and he sang a set for a while strumming his acoustic guitar. Personally, I was not thoroughly impressed with his overall talent just because he was just by himself.<br \/>\nThe second opening band, Horse Thief reminded me of U2 with their arrangement and sound. The band was energetic with their guitars as they sang.<br \/>\nThe first few songs rocked on strong as I listened and danced along. The band members lifted their guitars while singing and head banging along to their own music.<br \/>\nThe band had the overall look and feel of a traditional rock band, several of the band members held onto large electric guitars.<br \/>\nDuring the last song, the crowd finally joined in by putting their hands up and dancing along. To be honest, I could have listened to the band a bit longer before Elle King took the stage over.<br \/>\nWhen Ohio native Elle King took over the stage the crowd went wild.<br \/>\nElle moved into her set list with a song I did not recognize, but she kept the beat up. She had an excellent stage presence. She switched from an acoustic guitar to a banjo for \u201cKocaine Karolina\u201d and \u201cSong of Sorrow.\u201d Most of the songs she performed were from her album: \u201cLove Stuff.\u201d<br \/>\nOnce she moved into \u201cWhere the devil don\u2019t go\u201d I really began to enjoy the concert for what it was worth. She soared on the high notes and I knew every word to almost all of her songs. She praised the audience\u2019s ability to know all the words to her songs.<br \/>\nThroughout the concert, I was particularly close to the state and I took in every moment of the show. King also played \u201cLast Damn Night\u201d and she also engaged with the audience before the song and said: \u201cLet\u2019s play some rock and roll.\u201d<br \/>\nKing eventually slowed down the show with \u201cSee you again\u201d where she had the chance to touch a fan\u2019s hand. I loved the slow song since she sounded so good with just her vocals.<br \/>\nKing also played Ex\u2019s and Oh\u2019s and let the audience sing: \u201cThey always want to come, but they never want to leave.\u201d I tried to sing it at the top of my lungs.<br \/>\nKing closed the concert with \u201cAmerica\u2019s Sweetheart\u201d which sounded epic live with her voice and all the instruments working together throughout the song. My favorite part of the entire song was when she pointed at me, that was my favorite part of the concert. -Signe<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GExiHl_B7XE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first concert at the Majestic Madison on Friday November 20th was one of the best I\u2019ve ever been to.
