Review: Bilmuri put on a fantastic show at MGM Music Hall in Boston. The full, live band is extremely talented and Gabi Rose just destroys on stage, as usual. And Johnny always seems to be just having a blast doing this every night for crowds all over the world. He thanked the crowd multiple times throughout the show and mentioned recently being signed to Columbia. He made a great observation that when you visit their website now, he is sandwiched between Beyoncé, Billy Joel, Blink-182, and Bob Dylan.
They played a lot of newer songs, most of the best tracks from American Motorsports, and some deep cuts.
I was joined by two friends who went for The Home Team and walked away telling me they will definitely be joining me next time Bilmuri is in town.
Review: I’ve been a big fan of Doechii ever since I saw her perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She performed two songs with backup dancers, and the entire choreography and production were fantastic. It truly felt like a new artist was emerging—one unlike anyone we’d seen before. Fast-forward to her Grammy performance, and I knew she was someone I needed to see live.
If you’re a Verizon member, you might already know about their perks program. Last year, I actually won a $200 Ticketmaster gift card through it. They also offer smaller rewards, like $15 Fandango gift cards for seeing movies in theaters or at home, and occasionally, free tickets to concerts and sporting events. I’ve never been fast enough to claim one of those before—but when I saw Doechii tickets, I didn’t hesitate.
Her current Live From the Swamp Tour is hitting venues with capacities between 3,000 and 10,000, making for the perfect semi-intimate setting for an artist who belongs on massive stages. And honestly, after seeing her live, I’m convinced that the next time she tours, she’ll be selling out arenas.
The Venue & Opener
I caught her show at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston—a fairly new venue and one of my favorites. I’ve been to plenty of shows there, usually on the GA floor. It’s easy to move around, there’s a huge horseshoe-shaped bar, and the downstairs bathrooms are a well-kept secret (until now).
When I arrived, Kal Banx was opening. Later in the night, during Doechii’s set, she brought out a birthday cake for him, had the crowd sing, and thanked him for his production work on her music. That moment stood out—it showed how humble and genuine she is, despite her rising success.
The Performance
Doechii didn’t speak much during her set, but when she did, she explained why—she had to get through nearly 30 songs. Still, the few times she paused, she made sure to thank the crowd and express how grateful she was for her fans and the energy in the room.
Her DJ, Miss Milan, brought nonstop energy, alternating between spinning tracks from the back and joining Doechii front-and-center. Adding to the magic, Doechii’s twin sisters served as her backup dancers, turning the show into a full-on family affair. Their parents must be incredibly proud.
The Stage & Setlist
The stage setup was one of the most creative I’ve seen: two massive speakers framing a pair of doors that opened and closed to introduce new songs. Above was a platform for choreography, and to top it off, there were two slides down the sides of the stage. Doechii actually got stuck on one of them mid-set—but she laughed it off and kept performing, showing that she’s down-to-earth and just there to have fun.
The setlist included favorites like “Nissan Altima,” “Denial Is a River,” and “Anxiety,” which absolutely blew me away live. The song’s familiar Gotye sample hit even harder with the addition of heavy rock guitars—and honestly, the entire show felt like a rock concert: loud, bold, and completely in your face.
While Doechii’s previous tour had a swamp theme, this one is built around a school concept, complete with choreographed moving school desks. It was a creative and unexpected twist that perfectly matched her brand of controlled chaos.
Final Thoughts
Make it a mission to see Doechii on this tour. The whole show was incredible—entertaining, original, energetic, and overflowing with talent. She’s a true performer, and watching her live feels like witnessing the future of pop, rap, and R&B all rolled into one.

I got my girlfriend and I tickets to see Ben Rector for our anniversary. We are both a big fan and he makes sappy love songs.
Ben Rector put on a phenomenal show. Playing everything you would want him to. Some songs from the new album and all of the hits from the previous ones. He played my favorite song, “Old Friends” second.
Every song felt like an encore. It wasn’t a showy type of concert. No screen with videos were needed. The five piece band played so well together and Ben didn’t something that I really appreciated. He introduced his band before a new song started. He said his band was much funnier and talented than him and introducing them during a song wasn’t enough.
Ben Rector was very modest and very fun. He talked with the audience about his days in Boston and shared his golf scores with the crowd. He played some songs with just one other band member as they were very intimate.
It took me longer to get into this band then it should’ve. They are right up my alley. Like right up it.
I had heard the name, especially at two weddings over the past few years. Two years ago, I watched two good friends get married on the top of the mountain in Colorado and the bride walked down the aisle to one of their songs and their first dance was to another.
I then not only attended, but was the wedding officiant last year at another wedding where a song by Caamp was played as their first dance song.
I enter to win concert tickets all the time, thanks Do617 for these ones, and when I won tickets for Caamp at MGM in Boston I knew that I had to go.
I went into super prep mode, looking up their recent set lists and getting familiar with their songs.
I knew the fun covers they were doing on this tour, but needed to learn their own music.
The folk band sold out MGM Music Hall in Boston on both Saturday and Sunday. And Sunday was quite a night of energy and talent.
The band is fronted by one man, but every single person in the band sings, providing backup vocals and harmonies. Not only that, some members also trade off instruments or trade instruments with one another. There is a lot of talent to this band.
