The infectious sounds of Mae filled the ears of many at The Loveland Friday, May 20.

Mae’s headlining tour, The Everglow, brought along three equally talented Indie Rock bands to Portland. Days Away, JamisonParker and The Academy Is opened the show off before the sweet sounds of Mae’s keyboardist Rob Sweitzer began.

Overall, the performance of all four bands was worth the $10 to get in. However, The Loveland’s acoustics are not the best. Both Days Away and JamisonParker struggled with an overpowering sound that came close to drowning out the vocals completely.

Things seemed to get better as The Academy Is took the stage, possibly because the lead singer William Beckett, had a stage presence that could draw in people from every corner of the room. With his layered hair, skin-tight pants and interaction with the crowd, he truly pulled everybody in the room into the music.

When the members of Mae took the stage around 10 p.m., it was clear the crowd was ready. And as the lights lowered and the background music faded, Sweitzer started things off with a slow piece that turned into the strong sounds of guitar as the song “Someone Else’s Arms” began.

Mae blended the perfect amount of old material with their new stuff from their recently released album “The Everglow,” the follow up to 2003’s “Destination Beautiful." Dave Elkins, lead singer and guitarist, struggled at first with keeping his vocals strong, and after the first four songs finally was able to get vocals and acoustics balanced. Mae’s set ended with “Goodbye, Goodnight” and left the crowd feeling completely satisfied.

The Everglow tour turned out to be a success drawing in a strong crowd of around 200 people to the tiny Loveland located at 320 SE 2nd Ave. And although there were some problems with acoustics and vocals, every band proved to serve a good night of entertainment.

From Portland the tour traveled south to Eugene and California. The Everglow tour will wrap up this summer in Maine.
