December 12th, 2021 at The House of Blues in Cleveland, OH
On a cold, brisk sunday evening, The House of Blues in Cleveland, OH was rocking with Smith and Myers in town. Smith and Myers is the duo of Brent Smith and Zach Myers, who you may know from a band they play in called Shinedown. Smith, lead vocals for both Smith and Myers and Shinedown, started the show off with an interesting fact about the setlist for the show. He went on to explain to the crowd that he never knows the playlist, and pointed to Zach and informed us he makes all the setlists for the shows when they are on tour.
Definitely shows the dynamics between the two, and it showed more as the concert went on. Constantly seeing the two interact with each other as they went through the setlist, and interated with the crowd was great. Even shouting out how cute a little girl’s dress, getting the crowd to give her a round of applause. Yes, Smith and Myers not only had some interactions for the crowd they had some songs to surprise them as well.
Obviously, giving the Smith and Myers singles and Shinedown jams were added to the setlist. But they also brought in tracks such as Billie Ellish’s ‘Bad Guy’, Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’, REM ‘Losing My Religion’, TLC’s ‘Waterfalls’, as well as getting the crowd to sing along to some Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’. Zach Myers did a great job of playing what the audience expects, but giving some really cool covers to the list was awesome. Other songs that were played during this sunday evening were ‘Coast to Coast’, ‘Cut the Cord’, ‘Simple man’, ‘Second Chance’, ‘Monsters’, ‘Not Mad Enough’, and much more. Link to the entire playlist is located Here.
Smith and Myers were not alone for these Sunday night jam session with JP Moore and Zack Mack, who not only opened for the duo, they also performed with Smith and Myers for their entire performance. The energy was electric after they performed, and the crowd was pumped for Smith and Myers.
The evening was breathtaking from Brent Smith’s Voice to Zach Myers on guitar and piano. The setlist was fresh, had some classic jams, and much more. Even had some breaking news at the end of the concert when Brent Smith announced that he would see everyone in 2022 with a new Shinedown album coming! Huge news to really send everyone home excited, and thinking about what is going to happen next with not only Shinedown, but Smith and Myers as well.
