Tyler Hilton Live
Review
October 31st at King Tut’s Glasgow
After setting himself
free from the clutch of his former record label, Tyler Hilton has since started
his very own label ‘Hooptie Tune Records’, in which he released his much
anticipated third studio album ‘Forget The Storm’ in March earlier this year.
We were lucky enough to catch him live at his Halloween show at King Tut’s in
Glasgow.
With the dress code of
the night being ‘vampire’ the queue was full of blood thirsty girls (and the occasional
guy here and there). I actually didn’t have a clue about the dress code and
turned up dressed like a zombie football player... smooth Lauren. With the
queue stretching out the door of the venue and even further down the street and
round the corner, it was clear this was going to be a great gig.
With everyone all squeezed
in Tyler’s support act Dion Roy took the stage, and he got a great response.
The crowd were screaming for him which I’m sure he was surprised about having
not been to Glasgow before. He was wearing a Crispy Crème hat and Tyler’s
glasses which had everyone giggling. He performed songs from his most recent
release ‘Into The Day’ and he also played one of my personal favourites ‘Daughter’
which he explained to the crowd he had written for his little girl. He had the
crowd in awe, and I’m sure he won some hearts. I know if he comes back to
Glasgow everyone in that room will be the first ones to buy their tickets. As
his set came to an end and he went for some fan photos, the crowd were more
than ready for Tyler to get on stage.
As the lights went down, there was a deadly silence and then ‘AAAAAAAAAAH’ is all I can describe it as. Everyone in the room was going crazy as the lights went up to reveal Tyler Hilton, his guitar in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. He started picking out people in the crowd who were dressed up and threw them a couple chocolates, I managed to get a couple too. I mean it’s hard not to notice someone dressed as a zombie at a vampire themed night.. He kicked off the night with songs from ‘Forget The Storm’ and he had everyone bobbing their heads and singing along. I don’t think it had sunk in for some people that they were actually watching Chris Keller from One Tree Hill performing in front of them and not on their TV. He performed flawlessly. As he performed ‘When it comes’ there was not a person who wasn’t singing along. It was definitely a crowd favourite. He played a fantastic set and I’m sure everyone at the gig that night will agree he’s going to need a bigger venue next time around!
