The Driver Era’s pop-up show at The Wiltern on August 29th was nothing short of spectacular, delivering an unforgettable night filled with musical surprises and crowd-pleasing moments. Formed by brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, The Driver Era has quickly become a staple in the alternative pop-rock scene, known for their genre-blending sound and dynamic live performances. Ross, who initially gained fame as a Disney Channel star and member of the pop group R5, has since evolved into a multifaceted artist, with The Driver Era serving as a platform for his and Rocky’s creative exploration.
As The Driver Era took the stage, the anticipation was palpable. They made a dramatic entrance by debuting their new song, “Touch,” behind a backlit curtain, where only their silhouettes were visible as they played the track. This artistic choice heightened the suspense, and when the curtain finally dropped, revealing Ross Lynch and the band, the crowd erupted in cheers. The night was packed with high-energy moments, including a confetti explosion during “Preacher Man” that sent the audience into a frenzy. Ross, with his natural charisma, kept the crowd captivated, borrowing a fan’s pink cowboy hat during the set and sprinkling in several new, never-before-played songs like “I’ll Be There,” “Keep Me Up Again,” and “Over Again.”
The evening’s excitement peaked with the band’s viral hit “A Kiss,” which had fans screaming across the venue when Ross removed his shirt for the second time, further cementing his status as a magnetic frontman. The Driver Era’s set was a perfect blend of new material and fan-favorite classics, showcasing the Lynch brothers’ growth as artists. As the night came to a close, the anticipation for their upcoming single “You Keep Me Up at Night,” set to be released on September 4th, was palpable, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in The Driver Era’s evolving musical journey
