The small NYC venue made for an intimate show, some of us standing just inches away from Mitch, making it feel like we were hanging out with him as opposed to watching him perform. Mitch contributed to this feeling by making an effort to connect with his fans whether it be coming down to their eye level and singing straight at them, taking outreached phones to grab selfies, or asking audience members’ names and shaking hands if they called out support that he appreciated. The audience had great energy and it seemed like every single person there was a massive fan of Kid Quill not just because they liked his music, but because they supported the man himself. Mitch jumped off stage and joined the crowd for a mosh pit during one song and befriended a fan in the pit who he then shouted out by name when he returned to the stage. Mitch explained that he isn’t signed to a record label at the moment and just makes music because he loves it and wants to share it with people who enjoy it like the loyal fans in the audience that night. The energy at this show was unique in that the feeling of support and togetherness carried every person in the room throughout the whole night. Kid Quill has a tight-knit fanbase and I’m glad to have been able to experience it.
