![]() ![]() This concert truly encouraged me to take life one day at a time, and reach out to people more, even if it’s just simply smiling at someone walking down the street. Raury is a musician that cares about the people, and working together to make a positive change in the world. For others, it’s simply just an escape from reality people get drunk and feel the rush of the moment but don’t really appreciate where they are and what’s happening around them. For some they are an unforgettable night that is cherished forever. Screaming at the top of my lungs “We are the saviors!!” felt like such a spiritual and emotional rush, and the crowd went crazy when Raury jumped from the stage into the audience. Seeing Raury live was one of the best experiences I’ve ever encountered. I enjoyed every song that was performed, especially when he surprised the crowd at the end with “God’s Whispers”. Each song from both his EP “Indigo Child” and his debut album, “All We Need”, tells a story that many young people can relate to. I never felt like I was surrounded by strangers, we were all neighbors, family, and friends. People from all over the region, from all walks of life, were together, riding the Crystal Express. Eventually, the fog cleared a bit and the crowd could see him better. Throughout the entire show, the energy in the room was at a constant high. He was like a chameleon, camouflaging with the fog that hovered over the stage. Eyes squinting, people struggled to see Raury at first. All that was heard were whispers of curiosity and excitement, which quickly turned into screams of jubilation when the synthesized crescendo start to “All We Need” began and Raury instantly appeared in front of blinding strobes. Suddenly, the room went so dark that not even shadows could be seen. Everyone was laughing, conversing with neighbors, and chanting “Raury! Raury! Raury!”, anticipating the moment that he would come out and amaze us with his music. Instruments were moving left and right, as the stage crew prepared Raury’s set. The opening act, Sunny and Gabe, had just finished warming up the crowd with their chill jazz infused hip hop sound. Standing in a small room surrounded by people who were all there for the same reason as me felt so good. I’m already looking forward to his next show ! Indigos stand strong ! It was already hype, but that song took it to a whole other level. My favorite song would have to have been Trap Tears, just simply for the energy spike in the entire room. Raury’s energy and positive vibes are enough to make any person realize their own potential for greatness. That concert had to be one of the most life changing events of my life. ![]() If you want to hear more about their personal experience from the concert, mention or direct message them on Twitter.
