Bartees Strange took the stage at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday night, delivering a powerhouse performance that had the crowd hooked from start to finish. Riding high on the recent release of his third studio album, Horror, Strange blended his new material with fan favorites, creating an unforgettable night of genre-bending music and raw emotional intensity. The set kicked off with the Horror cut “Too Much” that immediately set the tone for the night before diving into a mix of new and old songs, including “Sober,” “Baltimore,” and the deeply resonant “Lovers,” which stood out as a clear crowd favorite.
Co-produced by Jack Antonoff, Horror sees Strange continue to push boundaries, exploring themes of isolation, identity, and fear through an original and compelling sonic landscape. His live performance only amplifies these themes—Strange’s ability to fuse indie rock, hip-hop, and punk influences was on full display last night, making each song feel like a unique experience. His passion was palpable, pouring his heart and soul into every note. The crowd responded in kind, singing along, dancing, and fully immersing themselves in the performance.
For those who missed the Bowery performance, Strange’s tour continues across the country, promising more nights of electrifying music and unforgettable moments. Check out his official website for upcoming dates.
