Geena Fontanella hit the stage first, she performed her songs “Dylan’s Dad,” “Daddy Issues,” “Loser,” and “Mad Love.” She had a black light set up for her set, which she turned on while performing a cover of Paramore's song “Still Into You.” Geena had such great energy when performing, the crowd matched it during her entire set.
Blake Rose went on stage next, it was just him and his guitars the whole set. He would switch back and forth between electric and acoustic guitar, which made for an awesome set to watch. Blake sang his songs “Gone,” “How Do We Stay In Love,” “Lady,” and “Casanova.” He also performed a cover of One Direction's hit song “Night Changes” and the crowd went wild.

Before the next song, Lauren asked her fans if anyone was in a relationship and if they had a cute love story they could share. She found a couple and asked them their story then dedicated the song “That Part” to them. The next song was “Aftermath” and she finished the set with “28.” The crowd began to chant her name wanting more. Lauren came back out and performed “Flowers” and ended the night with “Do It All Again.”
From the minute Lauren got on stage till the end of the show, her fans were singing her songs as loud as they could. Lauren is a great performer and has an unbelievable voice. She has an ability to connect with her fans as she's performing which makes the energy of the entire show so enjoyable.
