Priscilla Block Brings Confidence and Country-Pop to the Anaheim House of Blues
Priscilla Block’s Things You Didn’t See Tour made its fourth stop last week at the Anaheim House of Blues with a set that felt bold, personal and unapologetically fun.
Opener Clayton Miller set the tone early in the night as he joyfully took the stage and immediately pulled the crowd in. Over the course of his 40-minute set, he proved himself not just as a musician, but as a natural performer. Miller mixed unreleased material like “Love Me Right” with older fan favorites like “Texas for Me.” Between tossing guitar picks to audience members to bringing a fan’s phone on stage, Miller stayed completely engaged throughout the duration of his set. As his band closed things out, Miller stayed behind to sign merchandise and later meet fans at the merch stand, a small but meaningful gesture. By the time Priscilla Block stepped onto the stage, the crowd was more than ready for her.
Block opened her set with a bold stage presence, a confident walk to center stage and a stomp that said she meant business. From the beginning, Block balanced her star power with relatability performing to a room that included young girls up front, wide-eyed and singing along. Throughout the night, Block took intentional pauses between songs to share personal moments, grounding the show in honesty and vulnerability.
One of the night’s standout moments came when Block leaned into her ability to blur genre lines. Sitting down, she spoke about the growth of country music and the influx of new fans before launching into a country-pop mashup — reimagining pop hits like Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” and Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True.”
By the time her beloved “Yard Sale Anthem” came around, the crowd was fully on their feet. In true Priscilla fashion, she had one last surprise up her sleeve, joking that every good yard sale needs some merch before tossing signed items into the crowd. By the final note, it was clear that this stop on the Things You Didn’t See Tour wasn’t just another show date but a reminder of why Block continues to stand out in the country scene.

July Talk | Anaheim
July Talk are exhilarating -- a perfect example of classic rock in the modern age. Kicking off a night of electric guitars and raspy vocals at the House of Blues, the band played crowd favorites, including "Summer Dress" and "Guns + Ammunition." The lead vocalists are polar opposites, making their performance all the more captivating, and something you don't want to miss.

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness | Anaheim
Seeing Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness live is like being transported into space. The dim lights and fog (not to mention the astronaut helmet that popped up throughout the show) go hand in hand with McMahon's dreamy piano ballads that allude to outer space. Playing songs from both of his full-length records, and surprising Jack's Mannequin fans with "Dark Blue," the show was everything I could imagine and more.

Night Riots | Anaheim
Night Riots are dark, gloomy, and mysterious, making their live shows all the more captivating. Playing mainly new songs from their latest album, "Love Gloom," the band had the essence of the record down to a tee. From light-up drumsticks to jumping into the crowd, it's clear that Night Riots always have something up their sleeve, and it'll be unlike anything you've seen before.

Atlas Genius | Anaheim
It’s a typical Monday night, but there’s nothing typical about Atlas Genius’ performance at the House of Blues. Having their performance sandwiched between Night Riots’ preceding set, with Andrew McMahon to follow, the Australian rock band added to the energy of an excited, sold-out crowd.
Kicking off the night with songs from their latest record, “Inanimate Objects,” and following with fan favorites along the likes of “If So,” “Molecules,” and Trojans,” Atlas Genius got everyone on their feet and singing along. Donning a blue electric guitar and having blue stage lights to match, lead singer Keith Jeffery created quite the commotion and even jumped down from the stage at one point of their performance.
Every concert-goer was either holding a drink and singing along, or recording the set through their phones. It could just be the bright lights and crystal clear guitar parts, but it was obvious that Atlas Genius had the crowd captivated.
