The Driver Era delivers an unforgettable performance at a packed show in Cincinnati during Saint Patrick’s Day weekend as part of their headlining Obsession Tour.
The Andrew J. Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, was buzzing with excitement on Saint Patrick’s Day weekend, as The Driver Era took to the stage for a highly anticipated performance that had fans dancing all night long. The duo, composed of brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, delivered a high-energy show that encapsulated everything fans love about their eclectic blend of rock, indie, and electronic music.
The night began with a lively set from Nashville singer-songwriter Thomas Day, who warmed up the crowd with his unique blend of pop and rock hits.
Day, who first gained attention as a quarter-finalist on America’s Got Talent season 15, took to the stage with an infectious enthusiasm that set the tone for the evening. As a rising star in the music scene, Day’s TikTok presence has also contributed to his growing fanbase, with posts of original songs and covers gaining widespread attention. His performance featured a mix of original tracks, including the catchy “Viscous” and the emotionally charged “Masochist,” both from his debut album Love Me For Another Day. The crowd responded lively, appreciating the upbeat energy of his live performance and his ability to connect with listeners on an intimate level. As he wrapped up with “Pretender,” the anticipation for the headliner only grew stronger.
Fans had been camped out since early morning, with many arriving as early as 6:30 AM to secure the perfect spot for The Driver Era’s performance. It was clear that the crowd was eager to see the duo’s electrifying stage presence in action. The Driver Era, formed in 2018, features the Lynch brothers, with Ross on vocals and guitar and Rocky on guitar/vocals, alongside their brother Riker Lynch on bass, Garrison Jones, Ellington Ratliff, and Dave Briggs. The band’s name is a reflection of their music’s evolving sound, and a representation of the vibes they evoke—innovative, dynamic, and a little bit nostalgic.The show began with a dramatic entrance as the band played “Touch” behind a large white curtain which was illuminated with white lights that pulsed with the beat. The moment the curtain dropped, the crowd erupted as the band started playing “You Keep Me Up At Night.”
One of the standout moments of the night came during the performance of “The Weekend,” when Ross picked up a handheld camera, streaming live footage to the large screen on stage. The retro feel of the video footage perfectly complemented the band’s aesthetic, giving fans a deeper connection to the show and making it feel even more personal.
Throughout the night, The Driver Era kept the crowd dancing and singing along. The band’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a mix of energetic rock anthems and smooth, intimate ballads, made for a truly dynamic set. The Lynch brothers’ talent was undeniable, particularly during the stripped-back version of “Sex on Fire,” where the two played with just their guitars, and the crowd responded with roaring applause, proving that sometimes less is more.
The band closed the night with their fan-favorite tracks, including “Rumors,” “Get Off My Phone,” and “A Kiss,” leaving the audience buzzing with excitement. By the end of the evening, it was clear that The Driver Era had delivered everything fans had hoped for: a vibrant, engaging, and unforgettable performance that kept the energy high from start to finish. The night was a perfect way to end the holiday weekend, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their next chance to see The Driver Era live in concert.
