Violinist Lindsey Stirling is currently on her Music Box Tour, stopping by the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis last night, June 4th.
Kicking off the event was Los Angeles, by the way of St. Louis, Cailee Rae, who had with a full band. Her five song set included "Beautiful Lights" which she dedicated to the audience and set closer "Running Back to You".
Based on her brief 17-minute appearance, I can tell that she's very confidence in her music and message.
Boston's Karmin was up next, appearing on stage after an ominous dramatic music intro and darkened stage lighting. Seeing singer Amy Heidemann doing very specific dance moves, you got the feeling that she has very specific dances for certain songs.
Their set featured plenty of covers - often medley into existing Karmin songs, making it easily accessible by pop or rock music fans.
Prior to playing their new song "Blame It On My Heart" (with rapid Korn rap/singing of "Here to Stay"), Heidemann said that after years of being on a major label, the trio is striking on their own: being an independent band once again. With more control over their music and freedom over how their image is used, they seem relieved to finally break away and announced that their second full-length album Leo Rising will be available sometime this year (2015).
They previewed some of the new tracks from Leo Rising, including their first song "Didn't Know You", "Blame It On My Heart" and "Along the Road". The latter song had Heidemann sitting on a stool, but then changed her mind and preferred sitting on the floor instead.
I'll say this, the band was really fun to watch. I can see why over 1.5 people liked their Facebook page and I noticed plenty of hardcore Karmin fans in the audience.
Arizona's Lindsey Stirling is a super star violinist and dancer. I believe her personality (which you can see on her popular YouTube channel) and talent help her sell half a million of her album. Whatever she is doing, she's doing it right.
Her show is actually pretty fun, because of the costume changes and choreographed dance sequence by her four dancers (from Los Angeles, Nebraska, Utah, and Michigan), her set is mostly unchanged from show to show.
For the time-consuming costume changes, we're shown 2-3 minute videos to allow for setup to the next song.
If I were to describe her show, it would be a cross between Riverdance and Celtic Woman. So if you like those things, you'll have a good time.
The majority of her set is instrumental, with one exception: "Firefly" had Stirling singing on the track.
My favorite song on her set was her so-called "Nerd Medley", a medley of Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Halo, Legend of Zelda.... basically all the games I own.
Other highlight was her battle with keytar player Gavi on "Roundtable Rival". That was fun, I'm not entirely sure if you can actually text your votes during the performance... but the violin won over the keytar.
Lindsey Stirling's Shatter Me is out now. She continues her tour with Karmin and Cailee Rae on the Music Box Tour:
