 Before Tanner Usrey could take the stage, however, the audience was introduced to a new voice that echoed through the heart of Joe's On Weed St. Kat Hasty, a name unfamiliar to the Windy City, carried with her the essence of fresh tales and uncharted melodies. Marking her first performance in Chicago, Kat brought with her a raw authenticity, an untamed spirit of musical storytelling that captivated everyone present. Her set was a gentle yet potent reminder of the power of new voices in the music scene, their ability to connect, to resonate, and to pave their paths with notes and lyrics. Kat’s performance was more than just an opening act; it was an audacious step into uncharted territories, and the Chicago audience embraced her with open hearts, acknowledging the emergence of a compelling voice on the horizon.

 As the energy from Kat Hasty’s set lingered in the air, Tanner Usrey took the stage, stepping into a room crackling with electric anticipation. The opening chords of Till The Morning Light broke the silence, and instantly, a connection was forged between artist and audience, a testament to the power of music as a universal language. Tanner addressed the crowd, their enthusiasm palpable, declaring them a top-three audience of the tour. His acknowledgment wasn’t merely a statement—it was a recognition of the collective spirit of defiance and unity present in the room.

 Chicago’s relationship with Tanner Usrey had evolved dramatically since his last visit. Having previously sold-out Carol’s Pub, Usrey’s return to sell out Joe’s On Weed St. was a monumental milestone, a testament to the magnetic pull of his music and the impassioned embrace of his fans. During the show, Tanner played Waiting On The Thunder as a tribute to Blackberry Smoke's drummer Brit Turner, who had recently passed away from cancer. The room united in a poignant FU Cancer chant, transforming a moment of sorrow into a powerful expression of resistance and solidarity.

 As the night progressed, the setlist unfolded like chapters in an electrifying saga. Beautiful Lies saw the Chicago crowd raising their voices in unison, a communal affirmation of the power within imperfections and the beauty of authenticity. Tanner then escalated the intensity with Black Widow, ensnaring the audience in a web of exhilarating soundscapes, before drawing the main set to a close with Take Me Home, a track that speaks to the universal yearning for belonging and connection.

Yet, it was the encore that etched the night into the annals of unforgettable performances. Josephine cascaded through the venue, a mesmerizing blend of passion and nostalgia, leading into the final act of the night—a cover of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. Tanner Usrey and his band harnessed the soul of this classic, reinvigorating it with their unique sound, encapsulating the ethos of challenging the status quo, of defying constraints and expectations.

 Tanner Usrey’s The Crossing Lines Tour stop at Joe’s On Weed St. was not merely a concert. It was a bold statement of artistic identity, an indelible mark left on the hearts and minds of all who were present. From the momentous introduction of Kat Hasty to Chicago to the climactic echoes of The Chain, the event was a celebration of defiance, of the refusal to conform, and the embracing of individuality.
