STEPHEN SANCHEZ LIVE!! | THE ANTHEM
Coverage by Ricki Wood
Stephen Sanchez is back in the nation’s capital, this time at The Anthem. F28 covered Stephen last December, and what a privilege it was to see him again less than a year later. Instead of playing the 930 club, Stephen got to play a bigger venue on this tour, and his stage was to replicate a talk show set from the 50s. Stephen’s concert was set up as a performance taking place during the retro talk show “The Connie Co. Show”. He even had a host that was in a 50s character who introduced the show as if it was on TV. Not only was Stephen’s stage presence electric, but so was the crowd. Also, it was so fun to see not just a young crowd, but there was also an older demographic to the crowd singing along just as loud as the young ones. Like last tour, Sanchez performed a powerful cover of Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman” which was awesome to hear the entire venue singing along to. This show really showed me how Stephen has grown from when I saw him back in December 2023, and I think he is still only going to get better.
