Blue October has thrilled Stubbs so many times and this time was no different as they wrapped up their “I Hope You’re Happy Tour” in support of their same named 9th studio album. Justin Furstenfeld, lead singer, knows how to work the crowd, not only singing and rocking on his guitar, but taking the time between songs to give a little behind the scenes explanation on what the soul of the particular song they’re about to play embodies. The music is expository and you can feel each heart wrenching note and you can tell it’s something that was lived and not coldly constructed in an executive music label’s office. The new album is fantastic as is this tour, catch both if you can.
