still woozy — CONCERTS & EVENTS

Live from Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta, GA, Still Woozy is in full swing of his Loveseat world tour. Sven Gamsky, professionally known as Still Woozy, is a California native who has made his way for his infectious tracks and heartfelt lyrics. Accompanied by pop group MICHELLE, this show was one to remember.

The six-piece indie-pop collective (comprised of Sofia D’Angelo [vocals/guitar], Julian Kaufman [keys], Charlie Kilgore [bass], Layla Ku [vocals], Emma Lee [vocals], and Jamee Lockard [vocals]) brought an incredible combination of funky dance moves and harmonies to the stage. Enticing the crowd with popular tracks like, “Sunrise,” “Pulse” and “Syncopate,” it’s evident that this collective knows how to have fun.

After their set, the buzz for Still Woozy was palpable. Cartoon-like flowers are set upon the stage, as well as other set decorations and the audience can’t contain their excitement. The lights drop and fans are cheering as the guitar intro to Woozy’s second album Again rings out. Jumping and bouncing around stage, pumping his fist, and waving to the crowd, Still Woozy is on the stage and giving the crowd exactly what they’ve been waiting for. With lyrics like, “This can't be happening / I must be daydreaming / Again, again!” You can hear Still Woozy fans sing back every word and cheer throughout each moment.

“Window,” an infamous single released in 2020, has the crowd cheering and screaming back the lyrics. Performances of “Get By,” “All Your Life,” and “S**t Don’t Change,” has the energy in the venue at its peak. Ears are ringing and hands are in the air as each song progresses and weaves into the next. Accompanied by his acoustic guitar, Woozy’s no stranger to being a performer. Sitting at the piano, Woozy begins playing “Baby,” the 10th track on his Loveseat album. As fans are chanting and clapping back to the love song, Woozy switches up the vibe and performs “Lemon,” a popular track from his latest album.

With performances of “Lucy,” a 2018 classic that still hits, you can tell that Still Woozy has spent time crafting this setlist to cater to his fans. “Forwards,” “That’s Life,” and “Rocky,” follow, each song bringing a different set of cheers to the room. The show continues with some notable mentions like, “Anyone But You,” Cooks,” and “Run It Back.” Woozy finds himself in the crowd during his “Run It Back” performance; with hands in the air and screams all around, Woozy makes his way back on stage to show his appreciation for those at his show and who’ve supported his music.

The show winds down with “Shotput,” “Habit,” and “WTF.” Fans are screaming for an encore. Not more than 90 seconds later, the lights are swirling and the lyrics, “Oh, what they think about you,” are ringing out through the Roxy venue. The crowd pushes in closer for the final song of the show, “Goodie Bag,” notably Woozy’s most famous song. Released in 2017, “Goodie Bag” has everyone singing along and trying to harmonize with one another.

The Gulf Shores, AL community came together last weekend to host the annual Hangout Music Festival. With over a decade of spectacular music filled weekends, this year’s festival was one for the books. With pouring rain and thunder, festival goers did not give up hope on seeing their favorite artists perform on stage. Of course to ensure the safety of everyone, there were a few delays here and there, but Hangout was able to get the show on the road and finish off every night strong. At this year’s festival, there was immense talent on all stages across the beach. Here are some of our favorite sets from this year’s Hangout Music Festival:

Audrey Nuna, T-Pain, Fall Out Boy, Post Malone, THE BLSSM, Neal Francis, Role Model, Still Woozy, Leon Bridges, Flo Milli, The Band CAMINO, Halsey, Flipturn, Sublime, Joy Oladokun, Phoebe Bridgers, Jack Harlow, Tame Impala, Nightly, and Remi Wolf
