Fan reviews:Setlist for the show at the Moody Amphitheater Waterloo Park
Loved the show, came for freakin out on the interstate and got so much more. The dude has great energy and you could tell him & his band live for the breakdowns. Also the back in black cover he played for his dad (who was in the crowd) was so awesome. Caught me off guard and was a very welcome surprise. Great show all around, also s/o to brooklyn bowl for being such a good venue

Briston is the best! Briston has never and will never fail at being an amazing performer. His shows are so coherent and his songs flow so well together. His band is amazing as well and the fans/community he brings in are such nice, warmhearted people.
Amazing energy and sound! Briston and the band were absolutely incredible. I can’t even begin to describe how much energy they put into making the show feel special and full of energy, especially at the end of the tour. Briston sounded incredible and they all killed it on the guitar. Hope to see them again soon!
It was so cool and so fun! Didn’t wait very long and still was pretty close to the stage. Briston Maroney sounds great live and overall was such a good night!
Honestly Briston is such an amazing and very sweet person! His concerts are absolutely amazing and the energy is what I strive for in concerts! I’ve gone to many concerts and he is right up there with Harry Styles! And when you meet him in person he is just as nice! You can tell he loves what he does and he strives for the best! Four concerts that I have gone to of his this year and haven’t been disappointed!
