The band is touring to support their most recent release, Strangers No More, and recently announced that Strangers No More Volume 2 would be coming out in September. (All the songs on Volume 2 were recorded at the same time as Volume 1). Find Your People” quickly became a favorite song of mine and it earned the band their first #1 Americana Single! I was surprised to see that this was the song they chose to open the set with, but by the time the show was over it made perfect sense. He quickly captured the audience and didn’t lose them until the last note. Their latest single, Suffering” didn’t come until much later in the set. They closed the set out with Dance with Everybody” which I’d been hearing on TV during a March Madness TV commercial! The hour and a half set also included a cover of Fairfield native, John Mayer’s Gravity” and an absolutely amazing cover of Adele’s When We Were Young” which had Drew standing in the middle of the crowd. He also called opener Donovan Woods on stage to join him for the song they wrote together For Some Reason”. The Warehouse was certainly rocking to close out the night by Dancing with Everybody – including Drew, who once again made his way in the crowd to, in fact, dance with everybody. Another highlight included Drew calling over an adorable little girl who was rocking a very sparkly jacket and a Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors t-shirt to give her a vinyl from the band. Also kudos to her parents for having her wear adorable pink noise canceling headphones throughout the show as well. I am very much so looking forward to see what gems may be hidden on Strangers No More Volume 2, but for now I’ll continue spinning Find Your People”, a song that very much so reminds me of my closest friends. I received a free ticket to the show in exchange for this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

We had seen the first part of the tour last year and were excited to see it again in a much larger theater. The Waterbury PD Pipes and Drums opened the night at about 7:45. The High Kings came out around 8 to open the show. I didn’t keep track of the setlists for either band and can’t find them now, but I did write out what I could remember. I am pretty sure that the 4 part harmony of 1845 was my favorite song they did last time, and it was this show as well. After an intermission it was time for Gaelic Storm. One of the band members, Twigger, has been recovering from a medical issue so he is not on the tour and they had two guitarists helping out to cover his parts. While we did miss Twigger, the two gentlemen that they had on stage with them were wonderful as well. Pat always makes me laugh – and Friday night was no exception. During Darcy’s Donkey they often encourage fans to dance like they are riding a donkey in a race around the venue. But Pat decided security at the front of the stage weren’t doing anything because it was an easy crowd and had them come up on stage to ride their donkeys for the crowd. For the encore both bands came together to play a few songs together including John Denver’s Country Roads Take Me Home and then had the Pipe and Drums band come out and join them again.

We had purchased SoundcheckThe show was more fun than I was even expecting – they started with some *NSYNC and BSB songs, AJ ended up doing some of his own solo stuff as well. They did a medley of TV Show themes, a medley of Girl Power” songs by female artists. They also had and inflatable die and bounced it through the crowd and when the DJ’s music stopped whatever number it was on was the song they would sing. This is also when the fans with couch passes were on the stage. They had intended to do 3 songs for this but ended up doing 4. They closed the set out with more *NSYNC/BSB songs.

If you’ve seen the lineup for this past year’s 90s con, you will know that I was beyond excited that 2 of the 3 namesakes were in attendance. (Will I ever meet that elusive 3rd? I don’t know – but I’m hoping some day it will happen!) I went for all 3 days this year, but due to some medical issues I tried to stay seated in the panels for as much of the con as I could. This meant I met less celebrities, but honestly there were only a couple I was thinking about trying to meet in addition to the ones I did manage to see. Friday there were no panels so that was the day I opted to do my Boy Meets World cast photo. There were 9 cast members in attendance – William Daniels (Mr Feeny), Danielle Fishel (Topanga), Rider Strong (Shawn), Will Friedle (Eric), Trina McGee (Angela), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews), Anthony Tyler Quinn (Mr Turner), Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Bolander) I was the first one to enter the photo op with my Best Is Grumpy” pod meets world shirt which Rider was really excited about and the rest of the cast applauded me. We took the photo and they said it was good so I went to leave, only for them to say we were going to take a second photo. This time Danielle yelled RIDER! DO GRUMPY” so I was able to get 2 photos (BONUS! as screamed by Tony Quinn when they said we were taking a second) and have a grumpy Rider pose in photo #2. After the photo op I met up with a friend, we went to see Jeff and Drew from 98 Degrees and then Andrew Keegan. I cased out where I’d need to be for Geena Davis on Sunday morning and we ended up heading out to grab dinner. Saturday morning first thing I went and lined up for the panels as they were kicking off with Boy Meets World. I managed to get an ADA seat about 4 rows back in the center and stayed there through Sabrina the Teenage Witch and 98 Degrees. The Boys Meets World panel had the same cast members as my photos – Bill Daniels came on stage to a wild ovation – the man will be turning 97 at the end of the month and is still doing these cons to meet the fans. Amazing. He is a bit hard of hearing, but Bonnie helps him out by repeating questions and he will tell a story or two. The...
