On the second stop of their first headlining tour, Edgehill sold out local Toronto venue The Garrison on June 30, 2026.
Following the release of their debut album, Ode to Greyhouse, the Nashville-based alt-rock band announced their first solo tour. I had the privilege of first seeing Edgehill perform at the Rec Room in Buffalo, NY last March when they opened for Worry Club’s I’m Freaking Out Tour. I went into that show with limited exposure to their music, and walked out a loyal fan–with their discography at the top of my Spotify streaming charts every week since.
It was clear from that first show I attended that this band is on the brink of greatness. Since then, they’ve earned a No. 1 spot in the Billboard Alternative Airplay charts with the addictive single “Doubletake”. Shortly after this milestone, they announced their first string of headlining shows, a 5-stop traverse spanning from Columbus to Indianapolis. As soon as it was announced, I knew I had to be a part of it. They’re on the verge of a breakthrough and I couldn’t wait to be a witness.
I was lucky enough to first attend the opening night of the tour at the Ace of Cups in Columbus, OH (check out my coverage here). The energy was electric, with lead singer Chris Kelly giving a heartfelt speech about how the band “can’t believe they’re not the openers” this time around. There’s no doubt in my mind that every person in the room walked out a devout Edgehill fan.
Immediately after the set, I bought a bus ticket to Toronto. Less than 48 hours later, camera bag in tow, I joined the fans lining up outside The Garrison in downtown Toronto. It was 90 degrees in the back room venue space behind the bar. Shoulder-to-shoulder, with a humidity so thick you could barely take a deep breath–it was sweaty, sticky, and still a dream come true. The band put every bit of energy they had into the performance.
Lyrics you can feel in your soul, vocals that hit you in the heart, drums that course through your veins, bass that settles into your bones, and guitar riffs that make you feel alive–it was a full-body spiritual experience. With an energy so passionate and vibrant I can only compare it to the live performance legends, Twenty One Pilots, Edgehill reminded me why I’m here– and I’m certain they’ll do the same for you.
Their fanbase is growing, accolades are stacking, streams are multiplying, and their potential is immeasurable. This is the start of something monumental for Edgehill– don’t miss your chance to say you were here from the beginning. Get your tickets to The Moving Out Tour here. Trust me, you can’t miss this.
