I was introduced to Mike Love's music by my partner a few years ago, and was instantly captivated by his voice, sounds, and thought provoking lyrics. Getting to hear him sing in person was a real treat when he stopped by Victoria as part of his most recent tour.
It's one thing to be blown away by a full band performing with a full production, but there's something truly special about an artist that can give such an incredible performance and hold an audience's attention armed solely with his voice and a handful of instruments.
This was the most evident near the end of the night when he stepped away from the microphone and amplification, and filled the room with a fully unplugged performance to an enthralled audience.
It was an evening I won't soon forget, and am already looking forward to the next time he's able to make it back to our beautiful island.
There are still plenty of tour stops around the world, so do yourself a favour and jump on tickets if he's anywhere near you!
