Concert Review: Beoga Go Game of Thrones On Webster Hall

Beoga were very aware that they gave Game of Thrones vibes to the audience. All they needed to do was play the “Rains of Castamere,” and the crowd would have shouted “A Lannister Always Pays His Debt!” (lol!) Yet, their ability to turn sound into images of humanity’s ugly and beautiful nature was undeniably GOT. Thus, they gained fans at their Webster Hall show. 

You cannot deny the wonder of an instrument. From fiddles to accordions, Beoga felt like the last band to play in a cinematic tragedy. I know that may sound “insulting” or “bad,” but it is actually a really good compliment. Whenever we see a classic film like, Forest Gump or The Way We Were, we remember the soundtrack; the stringed and percussive melodies that sadly twinkled as our leading lovers were separated by tragedy. That music helped us cry, wonder, and admire how, by merely entering, love has signed a celestial contract to eventually leave. Thus. Beoga’s music fine-printed that contract into gorgeous arrangements. 

Beoga – Matthew’s Daughter (Official Audio) ft. Devin Dawson

While Beoga mostly stuck to instrumental suites, their vocalist, Niamh Dunne, showed that this quintet could easily go Ed Sheeran on an epidote of Game of Thrones (lol!) When Dunne sang, he changed the chemistry of the Irish quintet. They went from cinematic to literary, which, in turn, made them sound folksier. In essence, the leaped from screen quality to street kind; appearing like troubadours you could approach for a tale. This was massively impressive, and showed the audience that Beoga is filled with excellent musicians that can transform sonics just to give a story. For More Information On Beoga Click Here.
