Photos | Darlingside + Twain @ The Sinclair

Anytime a hometown band returns to Boston, they’re bound to be met with exuberance. But to say the crowd at The Sinclair was excited to welcome Darlingside home would be a severe understatement.

There was a palpable excitement throughout the venue last Thursday night, even before the lights dimmed to welcome the evening’s opening act Twain. Even before the first notes flew, there was a giddy anticipation from the folks close to the stage. Singing and rocking to the house music in anticipation of welcoming Darling side home.

And the band—touring behind their brand new release Extralife, did not disappoint. Working through songs from their newest release and their first LP, Birds Say, the harmonious quartet gave the sold-out crowd all they were longing for, and more.

Don’t believe me? Be sure to catch both of these killer acts at the end of July at Newport Folk Festival and find out for yourself. And if you missed the boat on tickets when they went on sale, be sure to sign up for the official fan ticket exchange to hopefully get hands on a few tickets to the best weekend of the year.
