Jeremy knocks local audience for a loop at the Barnyard
The Barnyard was packed to the brim and the atmosphere was absolutely electric for Jeremy Loops’ performance on Thursday.
Fans of the singer turned up in their masses and by 20:00 the opening act, local band Backstage, started warming up the crowd. Unlike other Barnyard shows, this one was a standing show. Floor space started filling up quickly once Backstage started with their set.
This rock band sang favourites like “Zombie”, “Old Time Rock and Roll” and “Kryptonite”, and also entertained the crowd with some of their own songs.
By the time their set had ended, the crowd was ready to be wowed by Loops who, much to their disappointment, only came on stage an hour later.
The show, however, was worth the wait. Once Loops came onto stage the crowd was beside themselves with excitement.
The singer sang hits like “Trip Fox”, “Skinny Blues” and “Down South” and the crowd lip synced along with every word.
“We are huge fans. My daughter brought me to his concert when he was here at The Barnyard the last time and since then, I have fallen in love with his music,” attendee Tracey Golitz said.
Another attendee, Mark Anthony, said he had been to Loops’ last two performances. “This is the best crowd. With great music, great people and a great atmosphere, what’s not to love?”
