What a night at Bar Lubitsch, hosted by WFNM. Luna Aura put on the set of the night -- personal opinion. Her set was full of volcanic energy that included body contortions, hair flings, guest performers and songs that were just a bit naughty. Her music matched up with the performance, a mix of dance beats and rock triumph. It was a performance to remember.

Halle Abadi opened up the night with a cover of Hey Violet's "Guys My Age." She then went with her own songs that highlighted her wonderful vocals. She has pop sensibilities that include RnB influences. She also had a great stage performance. She uses her arms and fingers to further express the emotions of her songs. It had someone screaming out, "Why isn't she famous?" I think she could be a hit on American Idol.

Natalie Claro closed out the night with the required high energy to send everyone off for the night. She performed her set playing a guitar, but that didn't prevent her from taking on percussion duties. She twice jumped on the drum set. She just pounded away in a way that reminded me of how Eastern Conference Champions would just hit those drums. Not only did she jump on those drums, but she also used the stage as her trampoline. She had the amusing moment of the night where she called up her boyfriend to take a group shot using an iPhone. Problem, he couldn't figure out how to get the flash working. Hey, I have the same problem as I don't use Apple product and don't take photos with my Android phone anyways.

Jake Hays set was filled with jazzy pop vibes. His vocals were as sweet as honey. His vocals better have been as sweet as honey as he was consuming a lot of honey during the set. In a move I'm not sure I've seen before, he bought a bottle of honey and kept chugging from it -- three times. He also had a water bottle where he mixed the honey into the water. He joked to the audience, "If you're wondering, I'm not drinking urine. That's honey inside."

I put Haiden at the bottom here just because I previous caught him a couple weeks back at another WFNM night. So in this short period of the return of music, this was my second time catching a set of his. He mentioned last time that he was doing his debut set. So this would be, duh, his second time on stage. His swooning vocals were the same, but those first time jitters had disappeared. I've got to say, there was a much improved level of confidence in his stage performance. He's a fast learner. Can't wait to see where his skill levels go come two years from now.
