Ryan Hemsworth gig review – FIB 2016

After an energetic bass-fueled dance off the much-anticipated Ryan Hemsworth hits the stage. They trade off and the now-full front of FIB cheers him on. Having seen him a few times before, his stage presence is improving with age. He closes his eyes and grooves along to the set as a humble smile falls across his face. He dances over to the electronic turntables and gestures along to all the hooks and drops.

His musical stylings create a light mystifying electronic trance that sweeps across the room. He plays some of his more well-known tracks like “Surrounded,” but mixes it up with some lesser-known artists and some remixes on classics songs like Sum 41’s “In Too Deep.” A mix of old and new tracks pleases fans all around. The set has a smooth flow that transitions between songs almost unconsciously, with a few applause breaks tossed in for good measure.
