The Hammersmith Apollo was alive with energy and enthusiasm on a crisp evening, as the venue played host to a thrilling performance by country rock artists Tyler Braden and Brothers Osborne. The theatre, packed to capacity, was a fitting backdrop for an evening that promised to be nothing short of memorable. Both acts brought their A-game, delivering a show that not only showcased their immense talent but also solidified their places in the country music scene.
Tyler Braden, who opened the night, quickly made a lasting impression with his powerful voice. From the moment he took the stage, it was clear that his vocal ability was nothing short of extraordinary. He seamlessly transitioned from gentle, soulful notes to full-throttle belting, commanding the attention of everyone in the room. His range and control were remarkable, and it was a joy to watch as he effortlessly moved between different vocal dynamics.
One of the highlights of Braden’s set was when he acknowledged that his mother was in the audience. The crowd erupted with cheers, and the atmosphere became even more intimate, as Braden took a moment to celebrate with his family. This connection with the audience was palpable throughout the performance, and it was a testament to Braden’s incredible stage presence. He even did a special cover of Elvis Presley’s ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You,’ which left the audience in awe. His rendition of the classic was tender and heartfelt, showcasing his ability to put his own spin on timeless songs. Braden’s crowd work throughout the evening was exceptional. His charisma shone as he engaged with the audience, making them feel like active participants in the show rather than passive observers. At one point, he invited the crowd to sing along with him during a cover of The Proclaimers’ ‘500 Miles.’ The audience responded enthusiastically, and for a few minutes, it felt as though the whole room was united in one collective celebration of music. Braden’s ability to connect with his fans was truly impressive, and it felt like he had them completely captivated, wrapped around his finger.
The setlist was a mixture of older tracks and newer releases, with a strong focus on Braden’s latest songs, including ‘Me or The Dawn’ and ‘More Than A Prayer.’ These tracks stood out for their depth and emotional resonance, showcasing Braden’s songwriting ability as well as his vocal prowess. His delivery was raw and honest, and the audience could feel the weight of each word he sang. Braden’s performance was an unforgettable introduction to the evening, setting the bar high for the main act. As the lights dimmed and the anticipation grew, it was time for Brothers Osborne to take the stage. The duo, made up of brothers TJ and John Osborne, have long been recognised as legends in the country rock genre, and it was easy to see why as they rocked their way through the final show of their UK tour…
