And the Winner is… Indie-Pop Band Saint Motel

Saint Motel kicks off their Fall tour in Dallas and lets their fans create a unique show based on votes.

After their tour in 2022 came to a close following their latest album, The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Saint Motel decided to bring back another tour. One to help celebrate their music through the years, “The Awards Show”. This tour was different from the ones they had done in the past and allowed their fans to choose the set. By setting up nominations and allowing the fans to vote, this makes every show a unique experience for each city on the tour. Opening for them was Juliana Madrid. A solo artist from Dallas who not only got to perform for hundreds of fans, but for her family and friends as well. Juliana was very excited to be opening for Saint Motel and even happier to do so in her hometown and is very excited to continue the tour.

Saint Motel wanted this tour to be experienced like no other, not only with the fans voting on the songs, but with how they interacted with the crowd. Many things were done to keep the night fun and new, such as bringing a fan on stage to read out one of the winning songs, awarding a cup to a fan who has been to the most Saint Motel shows, and even singing all around the venue and in the crowd. Saint Motel made the show very upbeat and made the fans wish the night had never ended. They kept the crowd ecstatic with songs that were from their first album, Voyeur, their newest singles, “Fine Wine” and “Everyone’s a Guru Now,” and all the fan favorites in between.

This set could make anyone fall in love with their music and was a fantastic show to experience. Any fan would tell you to experience at least one Saint Motel show or to at least give them a listen.
