Broken Speaker HPX11 show review

The crowd was chatting away as Kirk Ramsay aka Giant Hand  stood up on stage and introduced himself. Kirk Ramsay (aka Giant Hand) took hushed a chatty cloud when he opened his moth to begin his set. His special voice provides a powerful vulnerability. There is so much raw emotion that he displays so openly on stage. The entire crowd was leaning in, paying incredibly close attention in order to make sure they heard the next word. His stage presence was clever, funny and brought a bit of light to his otherwise dark set. He re-assured the captivated room that he really is a happy person, and he just has “bad days sometimes”.  Regardless, the songs connected to most of the audience on a deeper emotional level.
