On a busy promotional and festival appearance week filled with stops in Miami, Orlando, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Milwaukee, Los Angeles-based electro-pop sibling band Echosmith found their way to Minneapolis on a picture-perfect Thursday afternoon, for a brief acoustic set of favorites, both old and new.
The occasion was part of a weekly summer series of live music appearances at various area waterside restaurants called Live at the Lake, put on by local radio station Cities 97. Echosmith was making a return appearance to the series, having last performed a few years ago on the other side of the metro, in suburban White Bear Lake.
For this Thursday, the setting was Maynard’s in Excelsior, a bustling restaurant and bar on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, celebrating their twentieth anniversary in business, and the afternoon opened with a set of music from Maple Grove resident and American Idol Season 13 contestant, Eric Gordon and his guitarist.
Gordon debuted his newest single, ‘What r u doing?” at this same concert series two weeks prior, and was happy (and relieved) to see so many more people this time around. The R& B/pop singer mixed in originals of his own, like ‘The World’, ‘Lies’, and ‘Nobody Said that it Was Easy’ with a few covers, including one by station favorite Andy Grammer (who would play the station-sponsored Basilica Block Party just two days later).
After a short break, Echosmith – aka the Sierota siblings- Sydney (vocals, keys), Noah (bass) and Graham (cajon) along with new guitarist Jacob Evergreen- took to the stage for their half-hour stripped down set of songs. While we still all await their second full-length to be released, the group has released some new music including recent EP, Inside a Dream (Warner Bros Records).
“This is a really cool version of an acoustic set” singer Sydney began, looking out at the tables filled with people taking the late afternoon off, and the numerous boats docked along the horizon behind the grounds, before starting with ‘Let’s Love’.
Next up was ‘Diamonds’ a newer song “barely played” live at this point, followed by one of singer’s professed favorite songs, ‘Get into My Car’. The platinum-selling ‘Bright’ was next, ending with a verse from a Death Cab for Cutie cover as a duet by Sydney and Noah, as they also did when we saw them perform at First Avenue earlier this year.
Newest single, ‘Over My Head’ has already been a hit on radio, and Sydney asked the crowd to sing along to the repetitive chorus, which many did, in between drinks and conversations, which usually are a large part of these free outdoor promotional gatherings.
Closing the early evening was the group’s biggest hit, ‘Cool Kids’ sounding different but still very similar, when performed without the keyboard sounds and electronic augmentation, with Evergreen on acoustic guitar, and the usually-shy drummer Graham, sitting and tapping on his box-shaped cajon.
Echosmith formally resumes the road later this week with a summer tour supporting Pentatonix, hopefully culminating in their anticipated album’s release, and another headlining tour of their own.
