Walking into the venue, the crowd was buzzing. A line of people waited in the cold Minneapolis night ready for Bryce Vine. While I was getting my ticket a lady came up to me and said she’d seen Bryce every time he’s come to Minnesota. This loyalty set the tone for the night before any music played. Bryce Vine packed the Fine Line on a Monday night. His fans came ready to move. It seemed like every set had a different genre, but they remained united by their energy.

Brake was a perfect opener, setting the tone for the night with high energy, blending country, classic rock, and pop influences within his tracks all while he used his flawless stage presence to keep the crowd guessing what he’s going to do next. His over-the-top outfit matched his dyed hair and tattoos completing his artist aesthetic. The biggest standout was his voice. With his music covering deeply personal topics, his voice perfectly matched the content.

Out in Front shifted the tone with their punchy pop punk anthems that immediately got the crowd moving. They took the crowd through an experience that was seemingly unfamiliar to most because it was very different when compared to Bryce Vine’s previous hip-hop and R&B discography, but that didn’t stop everyone singing along to a great cover of “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy.

When Bryce Vine took the stage, he wasted no time interacting with the audience giving them handshakes and even giving people the mic to start singing the songs. His set seamlessly blended his older hip-hop and R&B tracks with punk material from his new album. Reflecting an artist who isn’t afraid to evolve past a sound that gave him success.

His comfort on stage was apparent in some of the most unplanned moments. One of these moments came when a fan threw her bra on stage, which he handled with humor rather than letting the situation get awkward. After the official set ended and it was time to go home, the fans stayed, refusing to leave without an encore. After about five minutes of relentless chanting, Bryce showed the same dedication back to the fans. Even though the stage lights and the microphones were turned off, he came out on stage for a four-song a cappella encore. This performance being stripped of the production felt more intimate and spontaneous, further showing why his fans have remained so loyal.

For a cold Monday night, this show delivered more than anticipated. From the variety of genres to the energetic sold-out venue, Bryce Vine curated the perfect show that made the start of the week feel like the weekend.
