ADVERTISE ON AMBY
Mikey Wax started the night off right on time, which is always a bonus for me, and grabbed
everyone’s attention opening with his song ‘Only One’ that was an instant hand clapping and arms
swaying song with a taste of soft-pop-R&B vibe. He worked the crowd well, especially by getting

the crowd to sing along with him during ‘Let you run’. With the majority of the crowd being
females, he was smart to do a Taylor Swift cover singing ‘We are Never Ever Getting Back
Together’ and by that time, the whole crowd definitely loosened up and knew that Mikey Wax was
here in Toronto to have fun.

Afterwards, Mikey Wax introduced his song ‘Bottle of Jack’ which is off of his latest self-titled
GIVEAWAY: WIN PASSES TO ARCTANGENT FESTIVAL
album and you can’t help but become absorbed into his voice and music. And then out of
nowhere, he slips in a cover of ‘Get Lucky’ by Daft Punk, into the song with such smooth
transition, that it took me awhile to notice. He threw in one of his older love songs ‘Counting on
You’ which was an easy song to get the girls to fall in love with. He performed his hit single ‘You
Life Me Up’ which made everyone want to dance and sing along with and then finished his set
with the song ‘Fall Back In Love’ which you can’t help but snap your fingers to.
Mikey Wax has amazing talent and is a great performer. Without too much production happening

on stage, Mikey was up there with only his keyboard, laptop and guitarist Joe, and that was more
than enough. He created a very intimate set with both upbeat and romantic songs and he’s
definitely a show to go watch.

I went into this show blind and never really heard of Brynn Elliott, but I can tell you now after
seeing her perform live, that she is unique. She worked the crowd well with only her being on
stage which I have never seen. It was just her and her guitar. She has a soothing, raspy voice that
felt like a Bon Iver mixed with Sheryl Crow. She was adorable and talked about the meaning
behind her songs; relationships not working out and how her parents got engaged young and are
still in love. It was nice and helpful because it helped the audience get a feel of who she is and get

With all the shows I have ever gone to, I have never seen and/or experience a show like Tyler
Ward’s. He is an internet Youtube sensation. Let me tell you this, do not underestimate Youtube
stars. I hope I don’t offend any Tyler Ward fans (you won’t be offended for too long) but I
personally did not go into the show being a wild fan of Tyler Ward, BUT, now I am. He definitely
TICKET GIVEAWAY: BLOOD ORANGE @ THE DANFORTH MUSIC HALL
blew me away and exceeded my expectations. I really respect him as an artist and I will say that
he is definitely one of the best shows I’ve seen.
I’ve gone to concerts where I feel the band/artist is just there to perform because it’s their job, but
Tyler Ward was there for his fans. He interacted with the crowd so well which I don’t know how it’s
possible. I don’t know if it’s because he’s on Youtube and the internet is such an easy way to
communicate with fans. I have no idea. But whatever he’s doing to create that relationship with his
fans, he’s doing a great job. He told a lot of personal stories in between in songs, which was great
TICKET GIVEAWAY: MIKE HAWKINS @ THE HOXTON
because the fans want to know about him and the stories behind his songs. Tyler Ward even
joked with the crowd since the majority of the audience were females and he knew so he was
joking with the males at the show asking them to raise their hands if they were dragged by their
girlfriends and whatnot. He was even able to get only the men in the audience to sing. That’s how
good he was able to work the crowd.
A lot of fans’ lives definitely had been made that night as well. Tyler Ward brought up two girl fans
up on stage for a dance off. One of the girls even kissed Tyler on the cheek while dancing with
him and he gave a kiss on the cheek back. It was cute. Tyler also brought out an orchid and a
personal letter for a fan all the way up at the front. I’m not sure if she cried, but if I was in her
position, I would have. Tyler even brought up a fan to go on stage and play Tyler’s guitar and sing
along with each other. The things Tyler did out of his way to do those things for his fans is
amazing.

Aside from all those memorable moments, Tyler Ward did a great job performing as well. He sang
original songs, medleys and covers. There were acoustic bits, and when a band joined him on
stage. It was such a diverse show. It was such a good production as well, and they even threw in

bits of choreography. It’s definitely one of the most fun and happy concerts I’ve ever seen. Tyler
Ward, I applaud you. For people who only know Tyler Ward as someone who sings in front of a
camera, don’t be fooled. Go see him live. And for people who don’t know much of his original

songs, you’ll still have a lot of fun and entertainment seeing him perform live. Trust me. I would
definitely go see him live again.
