For the 2nd song of the night, JD McPherson plays “Just Like Summer” from their brand-new album, Nite Owls. It has a great guitar sound that sounds at once fresh and classic. JD says their record label calls it surf noir.
Two songs later, they play “Firebug” from their 2011 album, Signs & Signifiers. This is such a fun song that everyone in the audience can’t help but dance along.
Later on, they play “LUCKY PENNY” from their 2017 album, UNDIVIDED HEART & SOUL. This is their most popular song on Spotify with over 32 million streams. This one features a great groove which the crowd eats up.
Next up is the title track from their 2015 album Let The Good Times Roll. This song is a pure fun rock and roll song that puts a smile on everyone’s face and is a perfect ending to their set.
To close out the encore, JD plays “North Side Gal”. He says they regularly play this one at Wrigley Field during Cubs games, which is just a block away from the Metro. It’s a truly catchy song that ends the night with an energetic fun vibe.
