One fan told me how she saw her six times and this show was her third time seeing her on The Doomed Tour; a tour celebrating her album “DOOMED.” She also made it known to me how grateful she was to be this close to Jesse this time around and she knows that one day Jesse will be in bigger venues and appreciates being a part of her rise to success as an artist.
Jesse Jo Stark took the stage at around 9:45 PM starting off the night casted in blue light that quickly shifted to red as she peformed songs such as “666 in the suburbs,” and “Cry on me.” If Jesse’s performance could be described as anything it would be that “slow and steady always wins the race.” She started the night off with slow ballads to hardcore alternative indie rock songs. The audience was in complete awe of her and reached out their hands to her at any second they could get. To end off the night, she brought out her guitar to sing “pussycat,” which left the whole crowd only wanting more.
