Grieves

Benjamin Laub, aka Grieves, is a multi-talented rapper/singer that I spontaneously checked out on a random trip to Seattle, Washington. He hails from the same location as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and you can definitely see the similarity in style of the two acts; Laub, however, has a talent for singing which he includes in his songs.
For his set he opened with “Woah Is Me,” a song about life. Grieves writes his material on real life, and has a hell of a lot of fun doing it flawlessly transitioning from rapping his verses to singing his choruses. As he performs you can see how much he enjoys it, which emanates out to the crowd. He also performed an older song “Scar Gardens,” which, as he said, “changed up to keep things fresh.” I obviously didn’t know how it was different since it was the first time hearing the song, but for a first time listener I did end up going back and listening to the original since I liked the live performance so much.
Aside from “thanks” and introductions, he also talked to the crowd. In between songs he told a few stories of his move into Seattle and part of how he got into making music shortly after moving. He also included a bit of banter between himself, his guitar player and his keyboardist. He finished out the set with two more songs: “Shreds” and “Kidding Me,” and overall I left the show satisfied with the performance.

Grieves was absolutely awesome! I am a huge fan so it was exciting to be able to finally see him live. I didn't know what to expect at first, but he put on a great show! He was pretty one on one with the crowd. He actually interacted and talked to some people in between songs. It was nice. I also was pleasantly surprised that his music sounds so amazing live. I know most rappers don't necessarily sing or anything, but Grieves has an awesome voice for singing and rapping. Ever since the concert, I have been listening to WATW album almost every day.

birthdays london was the location for this concert.
brilliant intimate atmosphere making the gig feel very personal with Grieves giving a fantastic performance and talking to us between songs and meeting everyone afterwards in the bar up stairs.
definitely the best night ever at a gig for me a night to remember !

One of the most illest shows I been to out here in GA besides the Grouch And Eligh show. His performance was phenomenal had a great time with my lady. His personality is very down to earth and I can honestly say he's a true underground mc to not sell out like Macklemore.

Very funny, great energy! Grieves sounds amazing life, as good as the tapes!
Very open and friendly with the fans, was a great atmosphere!
Cannot wait for your next European tour!

P.s. really enjoyed Too Many T’s, guys were energetic and funny. Cool rhymes!

Grieves had incredible energy! During songs he talked to the audience and actually had some conversations with some people. He also met with people after the show! Even if you know a couple songs by grieves you should definitely go and see him! 10/10!!

An amazing entertainer and artist, Grieves was the best hip hop show I've ever been to. He was electric and funny, and his music is just as good live. (If not better!) Bluebird theatre is small and intimate, and the perfect place to see any artist.

He's such an amazing, talented artist! Sick beats, cool relatable lyrics and he's also kinda cute lol! I'm blown away. It was so cool seeing him live! <3 would absolutely do it again.

Amazing show! He is down to earth and even throws in some humor in between songs. If he is in your area I would definitely suggest you go to his show, worth it!
