Knox's headlining show at the Echoplex was one of those shows where you'd ask yourself: 'Wait, did this actually happen?' Not only did we have Knox for this mesmerizing show, but we also had Maryjo opening the night. The energy throughout the night was intense, and the crowd was ready for it.

Even before Maryjo’s set, she came onstage briefly and greeted the audience. Just from that experience, you could tell how down-to-earth she is. When she came on stage, Maryjo brought her eccentric personality with her. Her energy and charisma as she jumped around the stage was a sight to see. Her set list that night included: "Curious", "Drunk Tattoo", "Traffic", "Still Into You", "Cleveland", "Simple", "Should Be Us", "Don’t Call Me", and "I Woke Up". At a certain point during the set beach balls flew out from nowhere, but it still complimented the energy. Maryjo is that kind of artist who you can tell loves interacting with the crowd. She’s not afraid to make eye contact, and at some point, she even jumped into the crowd and got everyone dancing. She would also interact with her bandmates onstage, performing alongside her guitarist, making the performance much more exciting. You could tell everyone enjoyed being up on stage.

You can also tell that Maryjo is someone who doesn’t let anyone push her around. This is demonstrated in "Don’t Call Me", and it shows how much she knows her worth. I’d say she’s a good artist to look up to for that reason. The amount of emotion she put into her performance of "Should Be Us" was captivating, such as when she pointed toward her heart and the way she moved while being by the drums. It was also refreshing to see audience members cheer on the guitarist and his smile while playing. Having a band with you really does make a difference performance-wise."

Right before Knox’s set, the audience sang along to the music, creating a touching moment. We were all excited for Knox, and when he took the stage, he entered running. He kicked off with his song "Love Letter," prompting everyone to clap and sing along. Knox receives an immense reaction from his fans, surpassing even technically bigger artists. Alongside "Love Letter," Knox performed "Man Down," "Sneakers," "Hate My Guts," "Nevermind," "Porch Lights," "Dumpster Fire," "I Don’t Wanna Know," "Time Machine," "We’re Not In Love Anymore," "Change Your Mind," "Me, Myself and Your Eyes," "NYC," "I’m So Good At Being Alone," "Girl On The Internet," "Here’s To Us," and "Not The 1975." He also had a moment reminiscent of Ed Sheeran with the songs "Invisible" and "Whatever Else You’re Feeling Baby."

During "Man Down," the audience jumped with hands in the air. For "Nevermind," Knox engaged the audience in a competition to see who could be the loudest. While performing "Porch Lights," Knox’s movements matched the lyrics, adding an electrifying spin on stage. "Dumpster Fire" was visually captivating with quick movements and warm colored lights. "We’re Not In Love Anymore" evoked nostalgia, especially when Maryjo joined Knox on stage for a surprise performance.

Knox’s drummer and guitarist infused energy into the performance, with memorable moments on stage. The guitarist even made a heart sign to the audience. Knox’s tour, named after the song "I’m So Good At Being Alone," showcased his stage presence. "Girl on The Internet" highlighted social media addiction and the facade of happiness online. Knox concluded the night with "Not The 1975," adding a special touch with another guitarist joining on stage.

Knox and Maryjo’s stage presence is palpable, with Knox's fast movements drawing comparison to a roadrunner. Photographers seeking shutter drag practice would find Knox’s dynamic movements ideal. The audience knew every song by heart, singing along enthusiastically even during Knox’s acoustic performances. If you seek a blend of heartfelt melodies and high energy, don’t miss out on these talented artists.
