Angelic space angels, First Aid Kit chose Portland Oregon’s Wonder Ballroom to kick of their Stay Gold tour, on Thursday, May 22nd. It was an honor. They dazzled the room with their old-soul, country folk and infectious energy. Pure joy! The entire set, song choices, energy, light show and sound was something out of a dream. They smiled and engaged the audience continuously. So much so that they were able to quiet the packed house enough to play “Ghost Town” acoustically.
The Swedish duo, Johanna and Klara Söderberg, might be singing about unrequited love and heartache, but they do so with such engaging smiles and connection that you can’t help but smile and sing right along with them. Their fans did just that and were complimented by the sisters on their beautiful singing voices.
First Aid Kit sing from a strong history of folk and country music but with a youthful, unabashed abandonment. Stay Gold is our wish list. June 9th can’t come soon enough! Do yourself a treat if you’re able and go see them live.
