If you have been living under a rock for the past year you may have missed this, but Above and Beyond did something totally new in the EDM scene and set out to produce an all acoustic show. From all accounts it sounds like it was a smash hit in the two locations they have performed at so far, London and at the legendary Greek Theater in L.A.
If you have seen Above and Beyond before you know that the show holds a very powerful emotional effect over the adoring fans that pack their shows in every city. With Tony McGuiness (on acoustic and electric guitar, vocals, mandolin, and ukulele), Paavo Siljamaki (handling piano, cello, and vibraphone) and Jono Grant (handling Rhodes piano, guitar and vibraphone) and a sixteen piece band behind them they seem to have recreated it into a even more spine chilling deepness then ever before. With Zoe Johnston, Annie Drury, and Alex Vargas handling vocals for them it was a night to be remembered. I have yet to find the whole set to even listen to, but from the videos I have seen and the articles I have read the crowd was mesmerized by what seems to be a more appreciation for the fans that so love and adore Above and Beyond.
With the both nights at the Greek Theater selling out and the release of a studio acoustic album by the trio and a film about their acoustic show in London, which is done by VICEs Thump channel. There are sure to be many more chances to catch this new show by Above and Beyond. Until that time check out the videos and songs below from their acoustic show in LA. Also like always at the very bottom you can find some fun shows in the Austin area coming up.
Here is an amazing live version for your enjoyment from their show at the Greek Theater.
