Concert Review: Harry Hudson Is A Cowboy At Gramercy Theatre

Harry Hudson excels as a performer for a phenomenal reason; he shows party boys, or rather cowboys, have big hearts. There is a misconception that the guy that “goes hard” at the party does not have vulnerabilities, or does not know how to be still, open his heart, and leave his emotional truths bare. At Gramercy Theatre, Harry Hudson proved you can be the center of fun while also having a centered heart.

Frankly, it is hard to place Harry Hudson as a performer. One minute, he is inching towards the audience like we are his best friends and we are rolling in money and bottle service: completely lit off energy and feelings of invincibility. The next he is quiet, pensive, and raw over the love he has lost and gained from tribulations like, cancer and death. His ability to seesaw through emotions, in a matter of seconds, is what makes him the Robert Downey Jr. of singers; managing to turn your feelings on and off with his sheer capacity to emote them. He, literally, jumps mid-air like a human pogo-stick, leaps into the crowd to dance, motivationally/ personally speaks to us, and does ANYTHING to keep everyone captivated by the moment like, getting TATTOOED while singing. Yet, that is not an unsurprising move for the self-described cowboy.

Harry strives to be the vulnerable hero in tracks like, “Cry For Love,”” “Yellow Lights,” and “Love Dad.”He sings his lyrics like the man that knows he will figure things out: matching heartfelt verses with the mental strength it takes to have fun/ be happy. Like the good cowboy, in the end, he dueled with enemies and fought off insecurities so he could ride off to the sunset, which makes him so appealing to his fans. Harry Hudson is building a familial following, of which his fans feel a sincere bond with him, his tragedies, and his triumphs. They see him as their wild, best friend that gives them sound advice on how to keep mentally clear and shares “inside, friendship symbols” like, a yellow rose.
Harry Hudson – No Good

I cannot elaborate, in words, the POWERFUL Harry Hudson has with his fans. From “Kelsey” to “No Good,” they truly feel like he is the modern cowboy; riding off with a VIP badge, flashing a red cowboy hat , and whipping up positive mantra in their head with a spiritual lasso. He matches the anxieties and joys of being young, but makes the club feel like the new desert, of which sand dunes are replaced by dance-floors and music is the water we need to dance on through.For More Information On Harry Hudson Click Here.
