Phillip Phillips Kicks Off Canadian Tour With Amazing Show in Halifax, NS

Phillip Phillips kicked off his first Canadian tour last night at the Darthmouth Sportsplex in Halifax, NS, and by all accounts, it was an unbelievable night that fans will not soon forget. The highly anticipated show drew long lines of fans who didn’t mind waiting in the cold to get into the venue.

The night got off to a great start with show opener Twin Forks, who got the crowd ready with an energetic and fun set, and was a last minute replacement for previously announced Dugas. But fans were there to see Phillip and his band, and when he finally took the stage, the all-ages crowd welcomed him with huge cheers.

Although this wasn’t Phillip’s first visit to Canada, this was his first ever appearance in front of Halifax fans. And when he asked everybody to stand up and dance, they were more than ready to show their love and appreciation by dancing, singing and cheering all night long.

Phillip played a great set, opening with “Get Up Get Down,” “Drive Me” and “Gone Gone Gone Gone.” Phillip and the band then launched into a moody “Man On The Moon,”  one of the first songs of the night to include the extended intros and outros that have become a trademark of his shows.

Another amazing moment came when Phillip performed brand new single “Raging Fire,” which the crowd received with cheers and enthusiastically sang along to, despite the song having been released only a few days ago. By the time Phillip performed fan-favorite “Tell Me A Story,” he had the crowd transfixed by his sublime performance.

He ended the set with his “Let’s Get It On” intro and mega-hit “Home.” But the crowd was not ready to let him go and they clapped and screamed until he came back to the stage for a quiet encore. As he came out by himself, he treated the fans to a beautiful rendition of “Hazel,” a song he rarely plays live. He finally brought the band back and closed the night with his brilliant “Lollipop mash-up.”

There is no doubt this was an amazing start of the tour for Phillip and that he left his already adoring fans hoping it doesn’t take him too long to come back. Phillip’s next stop on the tour will be in Quebec City, where he will play a sold out show at the Grand Théâtre de Québec tomorrow.

Phillip Phillips to perform in benefit concert for victims of Sandy

And now, much more movingly, “Home” has become an unofficial theme of sorts for the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, after Dan Kelly and Joe “Monk” Pardavilia–respectively the production director and executive producer at New York radio station WPLJ 95.5FM-created a special “Sandy Mix” video for the ballad.

WPLJ’s new tribute clip intersperses shots of Phillip’s original “Home” music video with news footage and audio of New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, President Obama, and teary-eyed hurricane victims surveying the Sandy-ravaged East Coast. It’s impossible to watch the video and not be touched.

Phillip recorded his entire forthcoming full-length debut, The World From The Side Of The Moon, at Quad Studios in New York City, and he has spoken fondly of the area in interviews promoting the album. So to support New York, it has just been announced that Phillip will play a special StageIt benefit concert with the famous PS22 choir, broadcast live from the choir’s Staten Island middle school, on Thursday, November 15. All proceeds from the livestreamed performance will go to the Siller Foundation and the Red Cross to assist with Hurricane Sandy relief.

When: November 15 at 3:00 PM PST
How long: 20 min. show
Price: Pay What You Can
