Within the sanctuary-esque walls of Massey Hall in downtown Toronto, the audience waited, seated and in anticipation, not only for headliner Lucy Dacus, but also the MUNA veteran Katie Gavin. On the “Forever is a Feeling” tour, Gavin debuted her first solo album live to the masses. The record is a complete contrast to her previous electro-pop musings, playing through the set with an acoustic guitar, fiddle, and hypnotic vocals.

During the second track of the night, “As Good As It Gets,” Gavin welcomed the colourful jasmine.4.t. to the stage. The pair shared a giggle as jasmine bounded onstage. The recording features the legendary Mitski, but the featured singer’s rendition of the second verse created a whole new meaning in the sonic environment. Gavin even threw in a bonus for the awe-struck crowd, with an unreleased track entitled “She Gives Me Feelings,” following the devastation of loving someone who doesn’t belong to her.

The masterful vocalist flexed her storytelling ability with lyrics depicting the stages of relationships and humanity, both romantic and otherwise.
