Live reviews
I stumbled upon Kate Voegele because I, like probably most of her fans, was an avid One Tree Hill fan. Unlike her timid character Mia Catalano, Kate Voegele is extremely personable, and energetic. For a girl with a small stature, she sure does have a big voice.
I saw her when she was the supporting act for John Mayer’s tour. The stage setup was really simple considering the massiveness of the venue. Smack dab in the center was a beautiful piano, and there were also amps and a drum kit. I don’t think a lot of people in the crowd were as familiar as I was with her, because while they did applaud for her, it wasn’t super enthusiastic. However, once she started to perform and finished out her opening song, the crowd’s energy really started to pick up. My favorite song of the set was “Kindly Unspoken” because it was the song that I had fallen in love with the first time I saw her on OTH. I also hadn’t realized that she was multi-talented in her instrumentation. For a few songs she picked up the guitar instead of playing the piano. It’s extremely refreshing to see such a strong female vocalist that isn’t part of the redundant cycle of radio music.

Excellent show at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore! I splurged and purchased the VIP experience, which included a meet and greet with Kate and Tyler Hilton. They then treated us to a performance in the crowd before heading back stage. The opening act was Gabrielle Ross, who I had never heard of before. She was very good, excellent voice. Kate and Tyler gave an amazing performance featuring songs from their respective new albums as well as older material. The crowd loved every moment! They did an amazing job performing "Hallelujah" to end off the night. Great experience!

Kate Voegele was great last night at #thehifi in Indy. She has such an awesome voice and the smaller venue made the concert so much more intimate. It was a wonderful night!
