It was nice to see Capaldi go from heartbreaking songs like “Lost on You” to immediately telling jokes and bantering with his audience. I, like many who enjoy his music, also love his sense of humor. If it wasn’t for the bottle of water offered to me from the security staff in the photo pit, I may not have had made it through the entire set. With so many people, everyone in the upper areas of the theater was sweating like they just did a high intensity workout. By the time I was finished shooting the first three songs, I was forced to stand at the back of the venue. Not a seat was empty in the venue, except for a few poorly placed seats that had a literal pole in front of them. Hailing from Scotland, Capaldi is on the second leg of his Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent tour before taking a month break in July, and then heading to Australia. Em Beihold performs as the opening act to Lewis Capaldi on Saturday, April 15th in Detroit, Michigan. Even doing a rock like guitar and solo during a song that came during one of the slower paced songs. Going back and fourth between songs that had slow melodies to songs with a faster paced tempo, Em Beihold and her band made sure to keep all eyes on her. One of the loudest ovations came after Beihold’s version of “Until I Found You.” A song the crowd made sure to sing along to as well. She finished the song, explained the situation, and then proceeded to just chat with the crowd without any hesitation until the lights came on a few minutes later. Beihold kept on going, not letting the abrupt light outage stop her. During the third song, the venue suffered a small power outage. The palate was one I rarely see and offered a uniqueness that I can remember her for. These colors were accompanied with a light smoke. Ranging from white, light blue, pinkish purples, and red. The color palate used was one of my favorite parts about the set, aside from the singing. A way that to me, helps convey the songs message as it was supposed to. Another thing I noticed, and liked, was the bluntness and way she doesn’t sugar-coat things. She took the time to introduce her band and herself, and just connect with everyone in attendance. The pop artist who blew up in 2022 with the song “Numb Little Bug” and having that song on TikTok, enjoyed connecting with the audience. Bouncing, jumping, and just flat out enjoying her time on stage. Rather than staying stationary, she wanted everyone in the venue to be able to get a good show. The band consisted of a drummer, a guitarist, and Beihold.ĭuring the half hour set, one of the first things I noticed was that Em used every part of the stage. Beihold walked onto set with a loud applause and began her first song on the keyboard.

She has opened for the likes of King Princess, The Jonas Brothers, and AJR before Capaldi picked her up for his tour.

Beihold is no stranger to performing before big acts. An act like Lewis, who at the time of writing this has thirty-three million monthly Spotify listeners, will do that. I spent forty-five minutes in traffic to get one block to where I needed to park. With doors opening at 6:45pm on Saturday April 15th, traffic was at a gridlock in Detroit. The singer-songwriter and musician came to the worldwide popularity with the release of the song “Someone you Loved” in 2019. At just 26 years old, Lewis Capaldi has become a household name.
