Soccer Mommy gets back to her roots with an intimate, solo show in NYC.
Last Friday night, Sophie Allison – better known as Soccer Mommy – kicked off “The Lost Shows” tour at Stone Circle Theatre in Ridgewood, Queens. The church-turned-music venue was the perfect setting for Allison’s scaled down set-up for this tour: center stage with just her guitar and voice. The stage, complete with mythical forest decor of moss, leaves, and branches (production design by Abby Portner), added to the intimate feeling of the performance to a sold-out crowd. Playing a number of brand new songs, this show was certainly one of for the books for both Soccer Mommy and her fans.
Opening the night was Lightning Bug, a local NYC indie rock outfit led by vocalist/guitars Audrey Kang. Similar to Allison, Kang also performed solo. Often telling anecdotes between songs, Kang mesmerized the very excited crowd.
Lucky for us, Joseph Buscarello was there to capture the night – check out the full photo gallery below.
