Montreal, QC @ Café Campus

I first saw Del Water Gap in concert at Bar Le Ritz PDB, a small bar in the suburbs of downtown Montreal. There was quite an audience to show for the night. About half of them listened to his music regularly, and the others bought the ticket for a night out.

Transitioning eight months ahead, his Montreal show gets a venue upgrade to Café Campus and was full of regular listeners. After Kristiane graced the stage accompanied by her guitarist and best friend, the audience was ready for Del Water Gap.

This tour celebrates Del Water Gap (Samuel Holden Jaffe)’s newest project, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet. It is an album that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly. In an Instagram post, Jaffe revealed that “[he] gave everything to this record” and seen from the audience at Café Campus the night of October 25th, it resonated with them. Although the focus of the tour was the most recent, songs from Del Water Gap, and Alive From Fresno were also played.

Del Water Gap and band played their hearts out, which left the audience to spill their hearts out.
