On Tuesday 10/10 The Aces filled Royale with fans on their second visit to Boston this year in support of their latest album I’ve Loved You For So Long.
Singer/songwriter Carol Ades started the show accompanied only by her partner on guitar, but the duo ramped up the energy quickly to get things going. The Aces sustained that momentum as they brought their upbeat style of pop to the stage next. With contagious enthusiasm, the band performed just about all of I’ve Loved You For So Long, which was released shortly after their appearance at this year’s Boston Calling Music Festival. The band had undeniable chemistry on stage, and their polished performance reflected that cohesion clearly. They played a tight set with no encore and few talk breaks, but band lead Cristal Ramirez made a point of thanking the audience and stating that none of them take the opportunity to perform for granted. That warmth was repaid, and The Aces finished their set to a delighted Boston crowd cheering in adoration.
