Kicking off the night, Venus and Ginger’s melodic singing and downtempo bass tracks were the ideal way to start the evening of music. While I only caught the tail end of the performance, the two’s soothing songs were a welcoming wave of energy and set the vibes appropriately as the sold-out venue began to fill. […]
