Concert Review: Chloe Moriondo with rosie

Graphic by Josephine Seidelmann

Most people have that one artist that TikTok introduced them to. For me, that was Chloe Moriondo in 2020.

By the end of the year, I was listening to her albums on repeat all day every day.  So, when I heard they were performing at the Whole Music Club, I immediately marked the day on my calendar, bought tickets, and started freaking out. 

First off, the concert had the most adorable limited memento tickets (as the actual tickets were all online). I wasn’t sure I would be able to get one because I was pretty far back in line but they still had plenty by the time I reached the front. Since the Whole Music Club is pretty intimate, I was in the second row for the concert too which was amazing.

Rosie was the first of the two to perform and I had never heard of her but I was floored by her performance. She is such an amazing singer and she is the sweetest. They performed an acoustic set and a set with a band. My favorite song was “It’s Always Sunny Somewhere” which hasn't been released yet.

Rosie is a local indie artist and you can find her music on all major streaming platforms. Her Spotify is attached here and I’m telling you that you have to go stream her song “Lilac Season” right now because I’m obsessed.

After her performance, she had merchandise available for purchase. I ended up buying one of her t-shirts and a custom CD with unreleased tracks because it was so cute and her unreleased tracks are perfection (both the CD and t-shirt can be found on her merch site). Plus, if you aren’t sold on the CD yet, you can check out her music highlights on her Instagram and you will be.

Rosie has a concert on February 10th at  Pillar Forum, and February 18th at Greenroom (21+) and you can sign up to get email updates about future shows on her website. 

After Rosie opened, my literal icon Chloe Moriondo came on. Finally being able to see an artist in concert who you’ve been obsessing over for years is an experience that can not be put into words. She was so sweet and had the best energy while performing.

If you haven’t heard of Chloe Moriondo, she is a musician from Michigan and she started off playing ukulele and guitar on YouTube. She just released her album SUCKERPUNCH last year, and like Rosie, she is on all major streaming platforms including Spotify. 

I mostly listened to her older music before the concert, but I have been listening to their song “I Eat Boys” so much since the concert (speaking of “I Eat Boys”, that’s the most real title in the history of music). 

Overall, this concert was everything I could’ve hoped for. This was my first time going to a concert at a smaller venue and if you’ve never been to a smaller venue you should go to one. Not only are they a great chance to find new artists, but they’re also so much less expensive than most stadium tours or other large venues.
