On her At the Beach, In Every Life headline tour, Cuban-American artist Gigi Perez made a stop at Boston’s House of Blues. The stage was covered in flowers, and behind her were visuals straight from her album, hand-drawn black-and-white sketches that felt soft and child-like.
Perez played a mix of old and new songs, from her recent hit “Sailor Song” to “Sometimes (Backwood),” and the energy in the room was electric. Fans sang along, danced, and cheered. It was the kind of night where you could feel the music vibrating through the entire crowd, exactly what you’d expect for a sold-out show from such an incredible artist.
Between songs, she opened up about grief and losing her older sister, and you could feel how much of herself she pours into every lyric. She also shared a story about being at Berklee six years ago, coming to this same venue to see FKA twigs, failing an ear training class, and wishing she could play here one day. You could tell how emotional she was onstage during this full-circle moment. The whole room went quiet, hanging on every word.
She even covered a Lana Del Rey song, completely making it her own by adding her delicate, emotional touch in her iconic deep voice. Gigi Perez is one of those rare artists who makes everything feel real and intimate, like she’s singing directly to you. By the end of the night, it was clear that her At the Beach, In Every Life tour is not just a performance, it’s an experience, a journey through deep emotions and pure artistry.
