Walk the Moon with Company of Thieves at ACL Live at the Moody Theater, Austin, TX, February 1, 2018
Review and Photography by Jim Chapin
Critically acclaimed band WALK THE MOON brought their “Press Restart Tour” to Austin’s ACL Live at the Moody Theater on Thursday, February 1, 2018.
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, WALK THE MOON consists of Nicholas Petricca (singer/keyboardist), Kevin Ray (bassist), Eli Maiman (guitarist), and Sean Waugaman (drummer).
WALK THE MOON have been captivating audiences with their energetic live shows for the better part of a decade. The band first made a name for themselves by touring relentlessly in support of their self-titled debut, which featured the indie classic “Anna Sun.” The alt-rock-pop quartet was then catapulted into the spotlight when 2014’s “Shut Up and Dance” became a multi-platinum global smash, crossing sonic barriers to top three different Billboard charts. After two years of performing countless sold out shows in twenty-five countries across five continents, the band returned to the studio to craft their third major label release, 2017’s What If Nothing. The new album shows the band simultaneously at their most epic and their most vulnerable, a daring step forward both musically and lyrically.
They are touring in support of their latest album “What If Nothing” which dropped in November of last year.
