Broadside at Starland Ballroom 5/17

New Jersey is no stranger to exceptional music artists passing through, especially Starland Ballroom in Sayreville. The venue was transformed into a haven of vibrant energy that would make anyone want to dance as Broadside took to the stage. Broadside never fails to get you off your feet and moving. Their performance was nothing short of memorable, even for those who have never heard of them before.
Opening with their hit "Heavenly," the band wasted no time setting the tone for the night ahead. The setlist was packed with old and new songs that all fans could enjoy. By the second song, they had the crowd off their feet and crowd surfing. “Coffee Talk,” is one of the band’s most well-known songs and it shows in the energy that the crowd displays as soon as the beat kicks in. It is incredible to watch their stage presence. Each member of the band plays a crucial part in their live performance and they all play it extremely well. Everything fits together in a way that any performing band would envy. The charisma and talent that Broadside has is almost unexplainable unless you watch them live.
We love the way the setlist was able to capture every emotion you could have at a live show. A personal favorite to listen to live is “King of Nothing” and “Dazed and Confused”. The raw honesty and humor before each song kicks in is one of the many things to love about Broadside’s stage presence.
If you haven’t caught a Broadside show yet, we highly recommend seeing them the next time they hit your city. They are overall incredible performers, talented songwriters, and a great immersive experience that you will be sure to remember long after the night is over. We guarantee you’ll be a fan at first listen.
