Early in the set, Saint Motel plays “Puzzle Pieces” from their 2012 album, Voyeur. Right from the start, when the great keyboard riffs begins, everyone starts dancing. It’s such a fun song and sets the atmosphere of right.

Shortly afterwards, they play “Move” from their 2016 album, saintmotelevision. Wow, this song starts off with such a great groove that keeps going through the whole song. “Gotta get up, I gotta get up (Move!)” sings the lead singer, AJ Jackson.

Later on they play “A Good Song Never Dies” from their 2021 album, The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. “’Cause a good song never dies / It just reminds you of where you were / The first time it made you cry, the first time you felt alive.” This is a great song and the crowd will always be reminded of this night when they heard it live.  

AJ says that they need an audience member to present the next award since Mike Tyson left the building. They bring up a woman from near the front of the stage. He then reads nominees and the loudest cheer comes for “Sisters”. She opens the envelope and reads “Sisters”. This is such a fun 1950’s style song and the audience eats it up.

For the final song of the night, they play “My Type” from their 2014 EP, My Type EP . It is their most popular song on Spotify with over 343 million streams. As the iconic horn intro begins, AJ goes into crowd. “I’m a man who’s got very specific taste. You’re just my type! Oh, you got a pulse and you are breathing!” This is a perfect end to the evening as it sends the crowd outside with giant smiles on their faces.
