On Friday, September 22, the iconic identical indie pop twins Tegan and Sara played their first show at Roadrunner. Carlie Hanson was first to the stage, and she was quick to endear herself to the audience during an acoustic set carried by the merits of her vocals and charisma.

Tegan and Sara opened their performance with the contrast of “You Wouldn’t Like Me,” a song roughly as old as Carlie Hanson, and “I Can’t Grow Up” from their newest album Crybaby. The evening’s show featured a wide-ranging selection of Tegan and Sara favorites from multiple eras over two decades, accompanied by the sisters’ characteristic banter. With a discography spanning 10 studio albums, Tegan and Sara managed to run the gamut with deft transitions between old and new. The people in the crowd also spanned a diverse range of ages, with multiple generations represented amongst them. It was fitting that Tegan and Sara commented on the newness of the venue and the joy of being able to make new memories in a new space, despite being in an otherwise familiar place. In with the old, and in with the new; Tegan and Sara made space for both, and the crowd was right there along for the ride.
