Cody Simpson and the Tide Live at the Mercury Lounge

Wow. Considering Cody started out being marketed as a Bieber clone, it’s rather remarkable how much he’s grown artistically. This was a show at the Mercury Lounge in NYC on 3/24/19. His voice was soulful as fuck and he wailed on the guitar solos a lot of the time. The only video clip I managed to take (when someone wasn’t either knocking into me because they were bopping along to the music or blocking my view with their own cell phones) was of On My Mind, which I love, though here it’s acoustic.
