Jessie Reyez in Concert
Combining unapologetic lyrics with in-your-face vocals, Toronto-born singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez is one of pop's brashest personalities. Reyez played guitar as a child and realized she was a music writer while in high school. In 2014 she collaborated with Chicago-based MC King Louie on his Canada-saluting track "Living in the Sky." In 2016 she broke through on her own with "Figures," a stark post-breakup track paired with a gripping video that showcased Reyez's raw feeling. "Evoking emotion from people is always a byproduct," Reyez told Genius. "It's not like I aimed to do that, but it's a beautiful byproduct that happens to come from certain songs."
Now, as a recipient of a JUNO award, 2018 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, she could say her subsequent catalog has been an object lesson in releasing that byproduct. Her debut EP, 2017's 'Kiddo,' was steeped in feeling while also showing off her musical range and the delirious "Shutter Island" pairs her yowl with macabre carnival music, while "Great One" shows off her softer side, its plush synths allowing her to luxuriate in existential questions like "What is life? What is love? What is time? What is choice?" The harrowing 'Kiddo' track "Gatekeeper," accompanied by a short film that she cowrote, turned a #MeToo-worthy experience from years ago that almost led to her quitting the music business into an artistic triumph.
While gearing up for the release of her second EP, 'Being Human in Public,' Reyez has kept busy with guest appearances and relentless touring. Her reworking of "Figures," performed with fellow Canadian Daniel Caesar at the 2018 JUNO Awards, added a dramatic twist to the song's heartbroken narrative; her turn as Eminem's foil on the controversial MC's 2018 track "Nice Guy" shows how she can hold her own against music's biggest names; and her performances at festivals like Lollapalooza and Afropunk have electrified huge crowds. Reyez's rise is proof that pure feeling can be a powerful connector.

Great set up! Love that you have a great view from the balcony or from the floor. The t.vs were a little distracting, i wish there was a camera from the performance that was playing instead of upcoming shows. During the intermissions, they should display upcoming shows but during the actual show, they should show us whats currently happening. Overall, 4/5 stars!
Jessie is an amazing performer , she is talented, funny , down to earth . I really enjoy her lyrics She really touched my soul and every inch
Her fans were really kind people, besides the fight that broke out beside me I felt safe. The sing alongs we’re amazing and she acknowledged us and taught us some lessons all while performing.
Jessie has so many classic songs that the crowd was carrying the show from the beginning, but she didn't stay behind and put on a hell of a show.. From the setlist, to the crowd interaction, to literally everything. 100% recommend seeing her live
It was the best show ever!! I love her she was amazing, so comprehensive, so herself, HUMAN. Not like every other star. We can see she’s really into what she’s doing!
This concert was great! She is such a good performer and the audience was all loving it. Great show.
It was an amazing vibe! She set the mood perfectly and her energy and voice are incredible. She's also ridiculously beautiful. Such a good time. Xoxo
Couldnt see anything unless i push threw people, the second level balcony only the 1st row of ppl can see, got foundation room tickets, didnt think id need my ID because it said nothing about that when i got the tickets… had to wait in line and pay for coat check when that was included in foundation room tickets, definetly will not ever buy 2nd level balcony tickets again,
She was absolutely amazing, she was great at engaging with the crowd. And her music her music is just phenomenal. She’s inspiring, been listening to her for years now and can’t wait for her to come back!
The crowd was so alive. Never been to a concert where the audience sang and danced more than at this Jessie Reyez concert. Jessie was so entertaining and fun. Would definitely see her again.
She is a grueling talented performer and one of the most skilled artist ever. The show was phenomenal and i am SOLD! I will be at all ones in my area to come!
I have been waiting so long for Jessie to tour! I love her music and her! Everything was 12/10 amazing! She is the sweetest to her fans and has the best energy!
She was amazing!!! sounded exactly if not better then her albums!!! The opening acts were also amazing!!! Would 100% recommend check her out!!! Her interactions with the crowd her vocals everything!! She even did a song that wasn’t in the set list because a fan requested it!!! Just amazing!!!
The concert was amazing and I had the time of my life. 🤩
The performance was excellent I now patiently wait for her to come back like a R&B singer in a white sweater standing in the rain in the early 2000s. The opening acts were really good too.
I love Jessie! The venue was pretty cool. Would definitely come to another show here, my only complaint was the stairs, but I think I saw a sign for the elevator. I would also get there when the doors open.
Finding parking actually wasn't too bad. Getting is was super quick and easy. The staff was cool. I wish they had more staff for the merch line. It was a little slow. Jessie was awesome! Loved every minute of it! She sounded so amazing! Really happy that general admission upstairs has seating if you don't want to do standing room on the floor. Overall, it was 10/10! I would see her again for sure!
Everything was amazing. I loved how energized she was!
The performance was amazing and the energy in the venue was so beautiful. Jessie is a great performer and very down to earth!
Jessie gave an awesome performance. Can't believe I got see finally see her!! She was engaging and energetic. I hope she comes back to a bigger venue. It was a sold out show so HOB was packed!
