Opening for De Souza was Philadelphia-based songwriter, musician, Dan Wriggins, who normally plays in a full band called Friendship… which Wriggins puts it, “Easy to remember, but hard to find.”
His songs are quiet, sensitive, retrospective … which is in stark contrast to Wrestlepalooza XVIII, taking place next door at First Avenue.
The most interesting song on Wriggins’ set was a cover Utah Phillips’ “Going Away”. I’ve never heard of anyone so in love with Utah Phillips… yet Wriggins has an entire EP, Still Is: Dan Wriggins Sings Utah Phillips, dedicated to the American labor organizer and folk singer.
Wriggins ended his brief 30-minute set with “Mr. Chill”, the title track from his latest solo EP.
The audience for Indigo De Souza’s show were mostly young women, who seemingly all knew the lyrics to De Souza’s music. Songs like “How I Get Myself Killed” felt like it was sung by the fans on the dancefloor, rather than coming from the stage. Her music often reflect her experiences of trying to fit in, which so many struggling teenagers can relate to.
It’s amazing that she’s built up such a large fanbase, considering that the young artist was “discovered” recently by Saddle Creek Records. The label found her 2018 album I Love My Mom and re-released it in 2021… along with new music with Any Shape You Take, in 2021.
Indigo De Souza’s new album, Any Shape You Take, is out now on Saddle Creek.
