Hi my name's Katie, and I'm obsessed with Vance Joy.
Last Thursday, I had the pleasure to see him perform live in Montreal, for the second time in 2014. Both shows, were absolutely incredible. Osheaga was wild, with thousands of people crammed together, you could literally feel the human electricity in the air, the crowd brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the show. Metropolis was more intimate, it was seriously incredible. It was one of those shows you wished just never ended, great from start to finish.
This Aussie gives me that butterfly “in love” feeling. First off, the singer/songwriter James Keogh (better known as Vance Joy), is totally hot. Dark hair, tall, insane voice, and plays the guitar - smoking hot (he's definitely my free pass card). Vance's band is made up of Jonothan Colliver on bass, Edwin White on drums, and Christopher Mulhall on keys. These super talented Australians signed a five- album deal with Atlantic Records in 2013. Vance's Ep “God loves you when you’re dancing” was released in March 2013, and they later released their debut album “Dream your life away” on September 9th 2014. Many ask why the name Vance Joy? Well fun fact, James got the name from a book he was reading called "Bliss", one of the character's was named Vance Joy. He was a storyteller, so James thought it was fitting for his music. Buzzfeed released "19 things you never knew about Vance Joy", check it out!

I love the upbeat tempo of this folk rock band; they’re
really fun, but also a little shy, which I really adore. At his most recent
show on October 30th at Metropolis, Vance seemed generally
grateful to be playing for us. They were originally scheduled to play at the Corona Theater, however due to how popular they've become, they needed a bigger venue. Vance mentioned during the beginning of the show how fast his heart was beating from the nerves - so cute (MELT!).
The entire show was energetic and real. He is a true artist, and he's come a long
way in such a short amount of time. On
November 3rd, 2014 Taylor Swift announced that Vance Joy would be
touring with them for her upcoming 2015 “1989” world tour. (If they start dating I might actually cry, better not break his heart Swift!) I'm super happy for him, This means BIG
things for these boys!
I decided to share two songs with you today; “Red eye”, of his debut album "Dream your life away", and “Snaggletooth”, off his EP "God loves you when you're dancing". These are two of my favorites, but let's be honest they're all fantastic, and so it's hard to pick just one!
I actually filmed the video "Red Eye" that I am sharing with you today, I apologize in advance for the shitty zoom, and shaky camera.
UNREAL no? So talented, love him.
Here's a couple of pics from his most recent show!
Cheers
