It felt like one big family.

Harrison Gordon brought his energy to The Stone Pony, opening for Mom Jeans on back-to-back nights—Wednesday, September 9, and Thursday, September 10, 2026—and it was unforgettable. I caught the second night, on Thursday, and if I had to describe this show in one word, it would be wild—but even that doesn’t do it justice. From the second Harrison and his band hit the stage, the energy in the room was off the charts. People were already hyped before the first note, and once the music started, it was pandemonium. It felt like everyone in the crowd was totally dialed in to every song, singing along and making the floor shake.

Harrison and his band are considered emo, but honestly, most of his fans say his music makes them feel happy, not sad. The vibe was all about having a good time. The energy level was insane, with close to 900 fans moshing, crowd surfing, and just letting loose. Harrison just dropped a new album called Bliss through Hopeless Records, and it’s already getting a ton of attention and great feedback from fans and critics alike. It was obvious the band was loving every minute on stage—they cracked jokes between songs and just seemed super down-to-earth, which made everyone feel like they were part of something special.

The crowd was a mix of Mom Jeans and Harrison fans, and honestly, it felt like one big family. The night just kept ramping up, and there was barely a lull between sets. Sobs, an indie rock/pop band all the way from Singapore, opened the show. They’ve been around since 2017 and were honestly the perfect choice to kick things off. Their set was super fun and got everyone in the right mood. All in all, it was an epic night of live music and good vibes.
