Dermot Kennedy Portland Concert reviews
Rick Rocks!
I went to the show mostly for Loverboy and The Romantics, but what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The Romantics were quite impressive, getting the crowd going with some popular tunes. Loverboy's band was superb and delivered a great performance, but the lead singer, Mike Reno, didn't seem to age as gracefully as his bandmates. He appeared fatigued and struggled with his movements on stage and hitting certain notes. Perhaps there are some health concerns at play here, or maybe he should consider hitting the gym to improve his fitness for touring. Dermot Kennedy, at 66 years old, brought an incredible amount of energy and positivity to the stage. His voice was outstanding, and he even ventured into the crowd, walking on chairs. Comparing his performance to Mike Reno's, there is simply no contest. Dermot truly rocked NJ! He is a must-see and his shows leave you feeling rejuvenated and timeless. I highly recommend catching a Dermot Kennedy show to anyone!
