When Em took the stage, she opened with “Scared of the Dark.” Sitting alone at the keyboard, she let her vocals and the song’s message take center stage before being joined by her full band. From the opening notes, she had the sold-out crowd’s attention.
The setlist struck a nice balance between acoustic songs, emotional ballads, and peppy, upbeat tunes, giving the audience plenty of variety throughout the night. Highlights included “Van Gogh,” “Strong Medicine,” “Lottery,” and “Goo,” which showcased the range of material from Maybe Life Is Good.
Whether she was belting out a chorus or pulling things back for a quieter moment, the audience was right there with her every step of the way. She poured herself into every song, holding the audience’s attention throughout the entire set as she moved between emotional ballads and the night’s more upbeat songs.
Finishing the night with her smash hit “Numb Little Bug,” Beihold sent the sold-out crowd home on a high note. The song, which launched her into the mainstream, had many fans singing along as she delivered the track that first introduced her to a much larger audience.
Backed by a strong debut album in Maybe Life Is Good, Beihold delivered a performance that showcased both her songwriting and vocal abilities. Friday night’s sold-out performance showed why fans have embraced both Maybe Life Is Good and the artist behind it.
