On a crisp winter evening in Boston, the House of Blues transformed into an electrifying venue as emerging artist Bryant Barnes warmed up the stage for 070 Shake’s highly anticipated “The Petrichor Tour” stop. The venue’s intimate setting provided the perfect backdrop for what would become an unforgettable showcase of raw talent and artistic evolution.
Bryant Barnes took the stage promptly at 8:30PM, immediately commanding attention with his magnetic stage presence. The rising star’s 45-minute set demonstrated why he was chosen as the tour’s opening act. Barnes’ unique blend of R&B and Soul resonated through the iconic venue, showcasing his powerful vocals that cut through intricate electronic productions, guitar, and piano skills. I’ve personally been a fan of Bryant since he released one of his biggest breakout songs “I’d Rather Pretend,” which seemed to be a favorite of many other fans from the cheers it received.
Without exaggeration, the best way to describe Bryant Barnes’ voice is angelic. His performance of songs from his 2024 album titled VANITY, along with an unreleased song, suggested exciting developments in his artistic journey, while his existing tracks had the growing crowd swaying in appreciation.
He may be an opener now but will easily be selling out arenas in the near future. That night, he proved himself more than capable of setting the stage for a major tour. Bryant Barnes is definitely the artist to be watched.
