Owl City is the musical brainchild of Adam Young, who launched the project in 2007 while living at his parents' home in Owatonna, Minnesota. Troubled by insomnia, Young began spending his evenings in the household basement, where a computer and several instruments provided a diversion from his sleeping patterns. He eventually combined those diversions into a blend of electronica and emo-pop, using little more than his computer and various keyboards to record the material. Songs were uploaded to MySpace upon completion, and Young began attracting a surprising amount of attention on the networking site. Of particular note was "Hello Seattle," a fabricated ode to the Emerald City whose viral popularity earned Young a record contract with Universal Republic.
Ocean Eyes, his first album for the label, was released in 2009, coinciding with the launch of Owl City's first national tour. While on the road, Young watched as "Fireflies" became one of the year's most popular singles, eventually topping the charts in several countries (including the U.S.) and selling more than three million copies. A deluxe edition of the album appeared in 2010, featuring seven bonus tracks as well as the original track list, and Universal Records capitalized on the buzz by also reissuing Maybe I'm Dreaming and Of June, both of which had been self-released several years earlier. An Airplane Carried Me to Bed, an album of acoustic pop songs that predated the Owl City project, followed in 2010. Technically a side project, the album was released under a different moniker, Sky Sailing. Young returned to Owl City in 2011 with All Things Bright and Beautiful, his first collection of new material in years. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
It was a fun concert, but I was surprised by the song selection. He has had 2 big hits and only did one, and he only did songs from his first two albums plus most of them from the new album. There are 3 albums he did not do any songs from. It was a good concert, if you are an owl city fan then go. However it was a good concert, I just would like to have heard some more from all albums
I love Adam Young / Owl city and this was an awesome experience. Getting in was smooth. Venue was easy to navigate. Crowd was respectful. And Adam was awesome!
FABULOUS CONCERT! The only complaint I have is not being transparent that tickets bought were not able to be sold. I had 5 tickets I was not able to use and not able to resell. About $200, I am just considering it a donation to Owl City!
I have been an Owl Hooter since 2014! It was a dream for me to watch Adam Young's live performance for a very long time. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that he would be in Cleveland. And I had to get a ticket! :) The concert was amazing! Adam's voice is soothing and mesmerizing. Even though I would have loved to listen to his older classics, I did enjoy his new tracks. The venue was perfect for the performance too. This is the best concert I ever attended!
As someone who has been listening to Owl City off and on for 15 years (since middle school), I was excited to finally see Adam perform live and to finally knock this concert off my bucket list. However, now having been to the concert, I’m sad to say that it was a huge letdown. Throughout the entirety of the concert, I was unable to hear any of the vocals because they were so washed out from everything else that was happening. There were several points where I didn’t even know what verse we were on or what song was even playing. It was a huge upset since you go to concerts to hear the vocals of the performers. I debated on posting this because I chalked it up to just a mishap or the venue (since I had never been to this venue before), but after seeing others have the same complaints I felt that it was necessary to also share my experience so that others know that this is an ongoing issue with this tour.
My husband has been a fan for many years, I tagged along and had the best time! He is an amazing performer.
Absolutely loved the show! Got tickets for my sons birthday, Owl city is his all time favorite! Especially Fireflies! He really enjoyed the performance and got to experience his first encore!!
Cool show, it was really cool. Standing room only so arrive early and don't push people to get a good spot if you come in late.
Owl city is a band that has been in my life since I was a child and I finally got to see them in concert and I was in tears. Every song that was played was played with passion and love. If only it lasted longer that’s my only complaint.
Awesome concert, Awesome booth seats where comfortable. Songs were great and I love listening to owl city songs. The T-shirts I bought were very comfortable to wear. I would do it all over again to see owl city.
