There’s always something special about a hometown show. Artists spend years going to shows growing up, one day dreaming of making it on the stage. After years of seeing shows at Newport Music Hall, Mitch Rowland got to take that exact stage on March 19th with his band, performing HIS debut album. Truly a dream come true.
Harris Harper opened up the show with a soft and harmonious set. Harris on the acoustic guitar and her brother, CJ Harper, on the keyboard, the two truly captivated the audience.
Once it was time for Mitch to take the stage, the crowd started buzzing with anticipation. There were hoots and hollers…and even a few barks (IYKYK). Mitch was joined by a full band including his wife, Sarah Jones, on the drums.
Mitch and the band played his debut album Come June in it’s entirety, bringing it to life with a full and dynamic sound. Rowland’s vocals were rich and authentic while the band’s energy was in it as though they had written the music themselves.
Throughout the show, Rowland shared his gratitude for the support from fans and the full circle moment of playing back in Columbus, Ohio. More than halfway through the set, Rowland expressed that neearing the end was always hard because he didn’t want the show to end but…he does only have one album.
