Passenger told a few different stories through out his set. Being so close to him standing on the edge of the stage as the lights reflected off his guitar and the beads of sweat on his forehead made the whole experience so raw, real, and incredibly fun. Passenger was so interactive with the crowd–he responded to fans shouting compliments, and talked to all of us as if we were old friends of his. My friend and I were first in line about 2 hours prior to the concert, and ended up being front row once we got inside the venue! It was amazing to be at the barrier–I’ve only ever experienced it at one other concert.

Check out their latest album “Twelvefour,” here, and click here to watch a clip of their performance in PDX. Along with being enormously talented, these guys are so funny and kind. They were pretty stoked to hear that I had played them on the air. I even met the guys after the show (see above), and talked to them about my music blog and radio show. They rocked! I was standing directly in front of the guitarist, who had so much energy and incredible skill. This was a fun surprise for me–I listen to The Paper Kites regularly, and I even played one of their tracks recently on my weekly college radio show. His latest album is titled Young As the Morning Old As the Sea.īefore Passenger came on stage in Portland, the fabulous Paper Kites performed, an Australian band who formed in 2010. Focusing on themes of life, loss, laughter, love, change, travel, stars, summer nights, fear, shimmering waves, growing old, and his views of the world, Passenger captures vivid scenes and memories through his music. My favorite duet of theirs is “Heart’s on Fire.”Įach of Passenger’s songs tell a story. He is good friends with singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, and performs with him often. After that, Michael continued to pursue music on his own, keeping the stage name Passenger as he busked around the world solo. They produced one album, then the band broke up in 2009. Michael Rosenberg, also known as Passenger, is most famous for his single “Let Her Go,” which, he jokes, often gets confused with the hit Disney song “Let It Go.” He formed the initial band, Passenger, with singer and friend Andrew Phillips in 2003. Last month, I had the pleasure of seeing him in Portland, Oregon with my friend Shayna, who bought me tickets for Christmas!
