Dermot Kennedy returned to Philadelphia on a chilly Tuesday evening. The rain from earlier in the day conveninetly disapated before doors opened as everyone filled in the space of the outdoor venue, The Mann Center. Dermot is currently on tour in the US in support of his third album, The Weight of the Woods. Surrounded by his largest band to date on stage in Philly, Dermot embraced the crowd with a whole new set of songs, and not leaving out any of the classics like “Outnumbered”, “After Rain”, and “Power Over Me”. The fans flocked throughout the open space, which was surrounded by the same trees found in the backdrop on stage, which gave the atmosphere a cozy feel of being in the nighttime wooded area. As I took in the different folks attending the show, I was pleasantly surprised to see full families in attendance as well, as their small children sang along to the songs and got excited to hear their favourites.
