Taylor Acorn hosts a night of women-led rock at the Thunderbird

CHECK OUT THE FULL GALLERY HERE!

It was a packed house for Taylor Acorn at the Thunderbird on Thursday. The opener for the evening was Wilt, the self-described “bedroom rock” band from California. Their fun stage presence and upbeat, yet casual, sound were an instant hit with the early crowd. Their pop-rock vibe with a sound all their own was the perfect way to get fans dancing and even singing along, with some coaching, of course. 

Taylor Acorn took to the stage to entertain a packed house of fans. Touring behind her latest album, “Poster Child,” Acorn barely had to sing her own lyrics as fans took over for her. Although not quite a hometown show, Taylor mentioned that it was nice to be back in her home state, receiving cheers from the crowd. Mid-set, Taylor expressed concern about losing her voice, but her vocals remained on point throughout the evening.

Late in the set, the band paused to bring out “the wheel,” a spinning prize wheel with song names on each space. Taylor pulled a young fan from the crowd and asked her to spin the wheel to decide the next song; it landed on “Homebody.” Making each set unique, the spinning of the wheel is a nightly event. The night finished with a two-song encore, including the fan-favorite “Psycho.” Taylor Acorn’s energetic shows and catchy sing-along lyrics have earned her many diehard fans and will continue to take her far in her career.
