Emo Night with When We Were Thirty (Ages 21 & Over)

In January 2023, Brendan Laverty had the perfect idea of how he wanted to spend his 30th birthday. A collective of long time friends and musicians coming together to play three full hours of the music they grew up on, in front of a live crowd. What he didn't know is that it would end up being the best live show any of them had ever played, and it would be the inception of "When We Were Thirty." Playing an extensive collection of 2000's Pop-Punk and Emo, from Blink 182, Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, and many more, the 20-30 year old demographic in the region that grew up with these bands finally had the live entertainment they needed. Consistently renewing their ever growing set list to include their own Pop-Punk versions of popular songs like fan favorite, "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, you're never getting the same performance twice.
