The Script's No Sound Without Silence Tour (with Colton Avery and Mary Lambert) at Massey Hall

I got to see The Script last night and couldn't have been more excited to see them again! There wasn't much promotion for their North American tour, especially since I didn't think Canadian dates were included.

I went with my friend Sami, who also was the same person who introduced me to their music way back when their first album was released. Following that, I've been to all four of their Toronto performances to date =)

The opening acts they had were also a nice surprise, especially since they weren't listed on our tickets. They brought along Colton Avery, a small artist they discovered from Phoenix, and Mary Lambert. Both of them did four songs each and they put on a great show. Mary did a bit of her piece from Macklemore's 'Same Love' and I especially enjoyed her slam poetry style song where she expressed society's perception of a women's beauty/body image today. It was very moving and we definitely gave her a standing ovation.

I always have a great time seeing The Script live because they're always fun and passionate about their music. Of course, this time around was better because they finally had new material to perform. In some of their old songs, like 'Nothing', Danny did his usual with calling a fan's ex. This time around, Danny said it was his first time ever calling a female. A fan in the front gave her phone to Danny with Chantel in the caller ID. It was funny to see. Once 'You Won't Feel a Thing' came on, Danny actually came up to centre balcony, where we were seated, and hung out with us for the song! All in all, it was a great concert. The only downfall was this was my first time at Massey Hall. We really wanted our space to dance around but it is an old theatre venue. Can't wait for them to come back to play again!
