Tom Odell

It's been a while since I've hung out with my cousins, so a couple weekends ago, I took a trip into the city to pay a visit.

We made dinner plans to a vegetarian place in the neighbourhood (courtesy of a Groupon) before heading to a concert.

The diner we ate at is Sadie's, on the corner of Adelaide and Portland. It's a cute little neighbourhood that I quite enjoy but never seems to spend enough time in.

We caught up over dinner before heading around the corner to the Rivoli to see Jane's Party and Tom Odell perform.

Jane's Party was the opening act, and they're an awesome indie rock band. They've got a single release party coming up this month and a CD release party some time in the Spring.

Although Tom Odell was the reason we bought the tickets, I was excited to get to know another cool local band. I got to talk to them after the show, and the lovely boys even saw me off with a free copy of their EP and CD!

Tom Odell's set was short, because he only has the one EP, but he played nicely, and has an impressive vocal range. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to connect with him afterward, but I was having such a good night it wasn't going to put a damper on that.

To hear Tom Odell live, check out a video I posted of his hit song "Another Love".
