The Beaches, June Body
February 24, 2023
The Lighthouse Arts Centre, Halifax, NS
I had the pleasure of attending The Beaches’ sold-out show in Halifax on Friday night, and it was an amazing time! Despite the heavy snow, fans still packed into The Lighthouse Arts Centre. The Toronto-based rock band thought they were coming in to perform at The Seahorse Tavern – which fits about 300 people. They were pleasantly shocked when they found out they actually sold out a 1200-capacity show.
They performed incredibly, with everyone singing and dancing all night. I don’t understand how they can be so active jumping, spinning, and kicking on stage without missing a beat or a note. Their setlist included songs such as Grow Up Tomorrow, Money, My People, Bad Behaviour, Highway 6, and even a cover of Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater.” Their positive energy was infectious, and I would highly recommend seeing them live if you ever get the chance.
Opening for The Beaches was local alternative rock trio June Body, and they definitely know how to get a crowd going while owning the stage. They are also set to perform as part of Halifax’s East Coast Music Awards from May 3rd to 7th.
