Hamilton Ontario Welcomes Vance Joy

Vance Joy and his “In Our Sweet Time” 2023 tour touched down at the FirstOntario Concert Hall in Hamilton Ontario, Canada. Lineups around the building as fans were waiting for the doors to open to see one of the top online streaming artists of 2023, almost 20 million on Spotify alone monthly. Playing all the hits, 18 of them to be exact, including ones like Missing Place, Like Gold, Saturday Sun, Riptide and many others throughout the evening. Joy can capture the audience with a simple look, but it doesn’t seem that he is aware of his own success. Seeming to be super authentic and a “down to earth” kind vibe, something I know his fans appreciate.

There are sometime performers and there are natural performers, Vance is definitely a nature performer/singer/artist and was meant to entertain an audience through his singing. Super talented in his writing and creating a hook that will get stuck in your head, one that you can’t help but sing along to. The evening had a beach fire vibe in a theatre, Joy showing his Australian roots by being caught walking outside in the Canadian winter in his flip flops like he was back home at the beach. There are something you just can’t change about a person.

Vance is adding some dates to his 2023 tour this week so keep your eye out if you’re wanting to catch him at a city near you! You won’t regret it!
