On Wednesday night, American singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez performed at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, BC.
Opening the night were Nashville-based band The Brook & The Bluff who thanked everyone for coming to see their set, noting that this was the biggest venue they had ever played in.
Stephen Sanchez‘ set was styled as an appearance on 1958 “The Connie Co Show,” complete with a host and mock TV cameras. Around 9:10pm, Connie Co appeared to introduce Sanchez and his band.
Sanchez‘s setlist of 18 songs mainly featured tracks from his 2023 debut album Angel Face (Club Deluxe), showcasing his retro, pre-Beatles pop sound. His hit ballad “Until I Found You” has earned him over 2 billion streams and the admiration of Elton John, who invited Sanchez to perform the song at last year’s Glastonbury Festival. To complete the vintage feel of his show, Sanchez also covered Paul Anka’s “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman.”
