Tonight, they started with some of the earliest songs that they released in 2014. ‘Angels’ ‘Steamboat’ and ‘Indiana.’ Then, into some Big Thief songs (Two Hands and The Only Place (Adrianne mentioned it was her favourite song to play.) We were also treated to a cover of ‘Leave the Light On’ originally by Chris Smither. Adrianne talked about doing more covers of songs, would love to see a covers album in the future. She performed a few from ‘Bright Future’ toward the end of the set ‘Donut Seam,’ ‘Sadness as a Gift,’ and ending the show with ‘Free Treasure.’ I really loved for this Chicago show, we saw the evolution of her songwriting from 2014 until present day with just a guitar. A beautiful night by one of the best songwriters in recent memory.
