JP Saxe, a multi-platinum GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalistis stopped by Historic Scoot Inn in Austin, Texas on February 19th, 2024 for his A Grey Area World Tour joined by Nicole Zignago. He has already made stops in Canada and Mexico, and soon he will be making stops in Europe & UK starting April 1st, 2024. This is JP Saxe’s sophomore album containing a total of 13 songs; Caught Up on You, The Good Parts, Everything Ends, and more.
The night started off with powerful and slow songs from Nicole Zignago, a Peruvian singer-songwriter who began pursuing her music career at age 18 in LA. She sang songs from her album, "Así Me Siento Hoy" (This Is How I Feel Today), "Me Gusta Que Me Gustes" (I Like That I Like You), and "7 Letras" (7 Letters). Throughout her performance, we learned more about her and her musical journey—the funny moments, the heart-hitting ones, and her dreams. As she continued to play, she performed a recently released song in 2024, "26" (Ni Tarde Ni Temprano/Neither Late Nor Early). The song had a soft and gentle melody that evoked the heart's desire. A nostalgic wave washed over the listener as the song delved into dreams and past youthful experiences, reminding us that change is inevitable.
As they moved between sets, the crowd started getting restless as the instruments began to be uncovered. We could see the full stage setup with instruments, plants, lamps, and more. The show was starting, and the stage was pitch black. JP Saxe appeared, and a single spotlight shone on him. It wasn’t long before the crowd started singing along with him. He performed songs from his previous albums like “When You Think of Me” alongside his new album “A Grey World”. In between songs, he shared that he continues to write music to truly discover himself as a musician. The evening concluded as JP Saxe and Nicole Zignago serenaded the audience together, basking in the spotlight's glow.
