s the sun set over Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida, fans lined up outside of the House of Blues for one of the final dates of The III Tour.
Starting the night on the softer side, singer-songwriter Kevin Garrett took the stage. As he walked on, he wore Mickey ears to represent the city he stood in front of. Many artists seem to find confusion in playing the House of Blues at Disney Springs, and he definitely fell among that group. He wasn’t quite sure what to call the city since the venue falls in between city lines, but he was clearly happy to be playing for this Central Florida crowd. His voice sent chills across the venue with his original song “Coloring”. His stage presence brought silence to the audience as he sang with passion, backed with only his acoustic guitar and a drummer. About midway through his set, he incorporated a cover of Billie Eilish’s “When The Party’s Over”. This proved to be a crowd favorite as he was applauded with shouts and cheers all around. Sending shivers down everyone’s spine, he filled the room with his energy and grew the excitement for the act to follow. Soon enough, the room went dark and the stage illuminated a vibrant red.
