Slowriter
Show Review

Slowriter isn’t your conventional singer/songwriter act that graces the stage with only words to share and an acoustic guitar. Slowriter’s music can be considered acoustic pop with catchy melodies, youthful vocals, and fun electronic elements. Slowriter as a whole creates something so great and it’s an absolute treat to watch live. I will mention they released a well praised EP in 2011 that I am a huge fan of but I want to talk more about their live show. I saw Slowriter perform last year and their set-up was significantly different however this time I was surprised to see no drummer and a bassist that no longer played the bass. Also to my surprise, I felt more connected to the music with this more stripped down performance. With a projector displaying videos with various scenes from cute dogs, children playing, informercials and even Tiger Woods, really is an element of the live show that holds its necessary place in their performance. I do feel nostalgia when listening to Slowriter and also seem to appreciate the less stressful times that youth provided. Slowriter is a group of musicians that put on an exceptional show, so make sure to check them out next time they play in town.
