HIGHLY SUSPECT IN CONCERT:
Comprised of twin brothers and their best friend from childhood, Highly Suspect are a tight-knit group that deliver foot-stomping rock music in the vein of Queens Of The Stone Age and early Kings Of Leon. Fans can't get enough of energetic frontman Johnny Stevens' gritty voice and hard-driving guitar chops as the band blasts through crowd favorites like "Mom, "Bath Salts", and "Mr. Asylum" in their funk and ska-influenced progressive rock style. Highly Suspect's nonstop touring schedule in support of two excellent EPs gives ticket buyers plenty of chances to catch these party starters in concert for a fun and hard-driving night of music.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Twin brothers Ryan (drums) and Rich Meyer (bass) formed Highly Suspect in 2009 with guitarist and lead vocalist Johnny Stevens. The trio got their start playing covers at local venues in their coastal Massachusetts hometown and quickly built a loyal and enthusiastic fan base. In 2012 they moved from Cape Cod to Brooklyn and recorded their debut EP The Worst Humans with producer Joel Hamilton (Elvis Costello, The Black Keys, Wu-Tang Clan). After standout sets at South by Southwest and Lollapalooza they released their sophomore EP, 2014's Black Ocean. Later that year they inked a deal with New York-based indie label 300 Entertainment and embarked on their first national tour opening for alt rockers Chevelle. With their self-titled debut album arriving in 2015, Highly Suspect is living up to the buzz and then some.

Highly Suspect was absolutely stellar live!!! They are one of our favorite bands on record but their live show was even better! Their talent, stage presence and the way they organized the show was absolutely on point. Made us want to buy tickets for the next time they’re back in town in 2 weeks. Just the absolute best. If you haven’t seen them in concert you really should. Thanks for putting on a great show! Opening acts were also fantastic! All around just freaking awesome. 🤘🏼
It was a great show with awesome openers. This was my first time seeing them live and I will go every chance I get!
I knew Highly Suspect was going to deliver! This is a unique band. Original and Inspired. So together, tight! Great small venue performance, from an award winning giant. I'll go out of my way to see them....
Highly suspect was great. They sounded just like their albums. The venue was over packed though. The show was sold out. I feel that the house of blues should sell less tickets so everyone can actually see.
Great venue! Amazing band! The show was on time and the staff were great!
It look a very long time to get through the openers and wait for the band to come out. Two openers was excessive and not a good show. Carr was bad. Highly Suspect was great!
As always, Highly Suspect put on an amazing show!! Even after the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate, they still performed a full set and put their hearts out into it. This was my third time seeing them and certainly not my last!!!
Saw them at the Starland Ballroom in NJ with Silly Goose , was a 8 hour drive round trip but totally worth it!!!!! Silly Goose was a blast, full of energy got the room pumping and ready for sure ! I was hoping for a little longer of a set from HS but they were really great , they sounded awesome , brought some great vibes to that place I can't wait to see them again no matter the distance totally worth the trip !!!
This is my favorite band and it was my first concert. It was bad because Johnny was bad. The rest of the band was happy and came on stage with energy. Johnny looked sad and dumpy. His hair was a mess and his clothes were a mess. He left the stage and had others sing his songs. He got mad at the audience for requesting a specific song and then said he wasn't going to play it now. He acted like he was doing the audience a favor by being there. Sorry,but it's the other way around!! We are paying him to give us a show!! I actually walked out half way through. The band that opened for them rocked! Silly Goose!! They had energy and actually cared about their performance. Maybe that's the problem all together with Johnny. He just doesn't care about the effort he puts into his shows anymore. Maybe he thinks he's above it now. Sorry dude, but your not!!
Highly Suspect was on fire, shrieking guitar, thunderous drums, baselines to remember, and steering vocals. They had me jumping and going crazy!
I love this band. We saw them at the HOB in Myrtle Beach before covid hit us. Just a quick mention about that show: it started off hot, and then it went kind of kiddy (black overalls and orange head toboggan hats), which threw us off a little. In between now and then they have mastered their craft on the stage significantly. Straight up rock show, it was f*&k'n awesome. The venue, 9:30 club was great as well. We'll see them next time they come back around in the states.
I was probably twelve when I went to my first highly suspect concert. I fell in love with their music when I first heard them. Johnny is a great person and will always have a special place in my heart. He gave and signed a hat the first time. Thank you Johnny. I’ve been to 4 concerts now. They sang happy birthday to me. And I’ve had a blast. 11/10 would recommend going to every single concert if I could. See ya next time.
I saw them awhile back and I fell in love with them as well as my mom, they’re performance was amazing! I’ve been checking them non stop to see if they’ll ever come back near me in st augustine fl!! Love highly suspect!!!!
Omg can’t even begin on how AMAZING the show in Niagara Falls October 10th was met all the guys of highly suspect it was my 2nd time seeing them live in Buffalo and loved both experiences so much ! Definitely recommend going to see them their really good they need long shows tho😏
If they’re in STL I’m there. They are true musicians and every album just gets better and better. Their concerts are never long enough because you don’t want it to end. Serious talent and a serious good time. Do not miss these guys!!
Phenomenal performance! Great venue providing a more up close and personal experience. The overtures were exceptionally performed and loved the raw genuine emotional moments portrayed by the band throughout the set. Much love to this group. If you haven’t seen Highly Suspect perform, I highly recommend you do.
Great performance by Highly Suspect and Dead Poet Society. By far one of my favorite venues, The Egyptian Room. And the extra money for the VIP Experience was well worth it! We had balcony seats with a private bar, private bathrooms, servers that bring food and drinks right to your table, the whole nine yards. Being a camera man, i am used to being in the pit, side of stage or on stage, and working a show. So to just sit and enjoy a show and be waited on... felt like a celebrity! Lol
Second time seeing Highly Suspect. They have defined perfected their set. Awesome show and amazing performance!
Everything ran extremely smooth from entry, to coatcheck, to concessions. Security was present without being overbearing.
