Feb 8. was a regular Wednesday night in Boston — predictably windy, reliably cold, eerily quiet in Fenway. Though for the select few who were lucky enough to fill the audience at MGM Music Hall, the night was full of an unpredictable radiance and warmth as Vance Joy stopped by on his “In Our Own Sweet Time” tour.

Watching Vance and his fans sing their hearts out at the first of two ‘Nation Of Two World Tour’ shows at Brisbane's The Riverstage (20 September), there is no question of Vance’s worth as a singer-songwriter.

I had forgotten that this was an all-ages show, but this very detail actually made me even more excited for the show.

Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy took over Auckland's Tuning Fork last night in an special one-off performance before he returns as part of his tour with a full band this September. He promised an intimate evening and that's exactly what we got.
