Rich Aucoin brings immersive electronic act to eBar
“Throughout the show, psychedelic videos of the Grinch and other random videos flashed across the screen.”
Rich Aucoin is a true entertainer and that is clear from his live shows, where he never fails to get the crowd jumping and singing along. Bringing his high-energy electronic act to the eBar on Jan. 12, Aucoin’s show opened with a customized opening credits video, where Aucoin grabbed names from the Facebook page advertising the event in order to personalize the show just that little bit more.
Before each song, Aucoin went through lyrics with the crowd, and then started each song with a video ripped from YouTube, bringing pop culture references into the mix as well. Throughout the show, psychedelic videos of the Grinch and other random videos flashed across the screen along with the lyrics just in case they managed to slip the minds of everyone gathered to listen.
At one point, Aucoin took out a parachute. One of those giant multicolored parachutes that every Canadian elementary student loved like no other gym supply, Aucoinp unfurled the cloth canopy over the crowd and everyone naturally started to wave it and jump uncontrollably with nostalgic joy.
Aucoin is an artist that makes it easy to be proud of the Canadian electronic music scene. Anyone looking for a fun night of live music is recommended to check out one of this Nova Scotia native’s live shows.
If you missed out on his last visit to Guelph, Aucoin allows listeners a chance to get a handle on his music by offering downloads of some of his songs on his website, and even returns fans’ text messages with free zip files of his latest album.
