The Pretty Reckless returned to the Ballroom on September 28th, drawing a sold-out crowd on a Monday night in September.
Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Reckless brought unmatched energy to the Ballroom stage. Momsen’s stage presence and ability to capture the crowd’s attention are just two of the many tools in the lead singer’s toolbox. Momsen continues to grow her fan base and capture the hearts of rock and roll fans across the globe.
Alongside Momsen, The Pretty Reckless features Mark Damon, Ben Phillips, and Jamie Perkins. Damon, the bassist, and Perkins, the drummer, both grew up in New Hampshire’s Seacoast region. On multiple occasions throughout the show, the band members mentioned that this was a hometown show for them. They commented on how special the energy in the room was that night.
They weren’t the only guys on the bill from our home state. Doug., the band from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, features Alex Paquin, Ben Lebeau, Evan Paquin, and Lucas Turner. The group was fortunate enough to join The Pretty Reckless on their Dear God North America Tour, playing venues such as the Ryman and the Ballroom and introducing new audiences to their music.
We also had pop royalty in the building. Paris Jackson, daughter of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was part of this stacked bill. In addition to being a rock star, Jackson also has a successful acting and modeling career. Momsen praised Jackson, encouraging the crowd to watch her continue to grow and calling her “the real deal.”
Keep an eye on all three of these artists, as they all seem poised for continued success.
