S. Holden Jaffe, better known as Del Water Gap, kicked off his worldwide “Chasing The Chimera” tour with a sold-out show at The Ritz Raleigh on Thursday night, Jan. 15. As the first of 42 stops, the crowd eagerly waited to experience the never-before-seen set.
“You can stop gate keeping me now. I want to play Sydney Opera House next summer” Del Water Gap exclaimed at the end of his packed debut Sydney headline show at Oxford Art Factory over the weekend, and he was so correct.
Grabbing listeners’ attention with music in the first place seems a tall enough task — transporting them into your own realm where they can truly absorb the stories and ideas you’re conveying requires a gift for persuasion, charisma, and maybe even a little showmanship to bring it to life on stage.
