The Anthem

02/14/2023

Maggie Rogers, a native of Eastern Shore, Maryland, headlined two sold-out shows with opener Del Water Gap, her college bandmate, and longtime friend. The energetic crowd was taken on a raw, emotional journey complete with cathartic screaming, eclectic dancing, and some tears as she performed hits from her sophomore album "Surrender."

Her performance in Maryland was special for her as her mom, middle school math teacher, first-ever friend, and childhood neighbors were all supporting her in the audience.

Maggie Rogers had a dynamic performance, despite the stage being surrounded by white daisies. She started with a pre-recorded audio of a poem she wrote, which was accompanied by stunning visuals. The performance built up into an explosive reaction from the audience.

The performance of "Want Want" by Maggie Rogers was an invigorating experience for the audience, setting the tone for the rest of the show. As she sang the chorus, the crowd became exhilarated and the room was filled with a captivating essence.

During the performance, Del Water Gap joined Maggie Rogers to perform “New Song”, the final track they wrote together almost 20 years ago.

Their chemistry on stage was impressive, and the audience was excited by every look they exchanged. They harmonized beautifully, creating an emotional sound that matched the song's lyrics.

Maggie Rogers closed her concert with a ballad "Different Kind of World", conveying hope and optimism in the midst of fear. Her voice and performance were praised by the audience as a powerful testament to her success as an artist in the music industry.
