The Brisbane duo Hollow Coves are embarking on their latest North American tour. Philadelphia marked the second stop on the tour and first sold out show. I wasn’t too familiar with Hollow Coves before going into this show. I’ve been a fan of ‘Coastline’ (or as they joked at a mispronunciation ‘Toastline’) for awhile now after it pops up on YouTube and Spotify frequently for me. In the day of Spotify playlist algorithms to discover new music I’m sure this might have been the case for a lot of others in the room as well.
Hollow Coves did a great job of owning the room, which can be a feat at Johnny Brenda’s when people would rather talk at the bar than actually watch the show they paid to come see. They brought their folky breakdowns and quirky banter to the stage and the crowd loved it. Hoping they make another stateside appearance soon!
