One of this year's biggest breakout artists, BORNS, played at one of the smaller venues in San Francisco on Sunday November 22nd. It was a chilly night on the streets San Francisco but inside The Independent it was nice and cozy with fans arriving early to the show which had sold-out in a heartbeat. The floor was full and pulsating with politely chatting, dancing show goers when Avid Dancer got the show going. Warming the crowded room up for the highly anticipated headliner, the LA based openers were modest, asking SF fans if they were excited for BORNS a couple of times during their solid alt-indie-pop set.

Garret Borns, the critically acclaimed 23 year old Michigan born, LA based singer-songwriter, better known as BORNS, sparked more movement throughout the already jubilicious crowd. Positively radiating happiness, he lead his band, and fans into the dreamy, dopamine fueling set. For as heavily synth sounding as his debut album, Dopamine is, surprisingly there wasn't a single synthesizer on stage: one gal played two different key boards, another kept the beat on drums and gents on guitar and bass made up the ensemble.
His velvety vocals enchanted with an unassuming intensity and were pleasantly accentuated by female back up vocals from the keyboardist. With his signature luscious locks, gracious stage presence and flawless singing, Borns' exuded an angelic air. It was easy to fall into a trance while he lifted the audience up on a high with his seamless experimental psychedelic pop.

The best of course was saved for last and surely sent everybody home more than happy, ending the sensational show climatically with "Electric Love".
I gotta say seeing BORNS on a Sunday night sure was a great way to wrap up the week!
After finishing the current leg of the US tour December 18th at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo New York, BORNS will continue touring in Australia, the UK and all around Europe through early 2016!
