Tonight’s headliner is San Fermin from Brooklyn, New York.  This seven piece band fills the large stage with style.  The band consists of two lead singers, a violinist, saxophone player, keyboardist, guitarist, and a drummer.

San Fermin is the creation of Brooklyn composer and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone. This tour is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the release of Jackrabbit, which is their second album. It features the track “Emily”, which is the most popular song on the album. Allen Tate’s vocal performance is impressive and sounds similar to the lead singer from The National. 

The band truly fills Thalia Hall with their vibrant sounds.  Claire Wellin displays her vocal talent during “Jackrabbit”. Many songs feature fantastic brass that energizes the band and the crowd.  The rendition of “Sonsick” brought the house down.  During a lively instrumental, the saxophone player enters the opera box for a solo to the cheers of the audience.
