From the moment she stepped onto the stage, Cooke brought an undeniable energy to Joe’s Live. While performing to a large crowd, Cooke has a way of connecting with each and every person in the audience with her confidence and warm personality. Her shows feel more like hanging out with an old friend rather than spending a night with a performer. Cooke’s music balances her vulnerability along with her carefree style, highlighting the high and low points of life and relationships. With heartfelt songs such as “If I’m Being Honest,” “Swear Words,” “The Girl Who Cried Wolf,” and “It’s Been a Year,” the crowd connected with Cooke on a more personal level. The upbeat moments with “Excuses,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” “High School Sweetheart,” and “The Hell You Are” had the crowd on their feet singing and dancing along to every word.

While Cooke brought some of her most recognizable songs to life, it was the stories behind them that added another layer to the evening. Fans come to live shows to hear their favorite songs performed live, but the stories shared about the creation and emotions behind them let the audience feel a deeper connection with each song and create new meanings for themselves. Throughout the show, Cooke never lost that genuine connection with her audience. The Baby Blues era also gave Cooke plenty of room to showcase her personality. The album and tour are an extension of who she is as not only an artist, but as the person she is- fun, honest, confident, and unafraid to embrace both the good and messy moments that come with life. Cooke allows fans to see more of who she is outside of her stage persona. Through this tour and album, we see more of who Cooke is outside of the spotlight.
