The Acorn started real strong despite the recent departure of a founding member. Still a five piece and that beloved double percussion combo really did some numbers on us, namely Kindling to Cremation and Hold Your Breath. The Flood Pt.1 excellently showcased their skills with the mid-song guitar breakdowns and varied drumming. They had to stall as they waited to be rejoined by their former secondary singer who had been Misplaced. He sang on a few, remarking that it was weird to sing without a guitar in his hands. Following his departure there was a slight mid set lull but a strong closing brought it all together.
Lit from the stage up, they picked it up with No Ghost and Low Gravity before having Jeff rejoin them on the closer. In encore they did an Acorn fan favourite in a rocking rendition of Crooked Legs. As it was their final night of the tour they showed some love to Evening Hymns and invited them, along with any other musician friend in attendance to come on stage for some fun. This came in the formof cover songs! Tom Petty's Won't Back Down, and You Wreck Me led by Evening Hymns. All told a couple of entertaining sets from an up and comer and a well trodden old timer (relatively speaking).
