Saint Asonia’s Set
If you’re a fan of Three Days Grace, you were in for a treat with Saint Asonia, led by former TGD singer Adam Gontier. The band is fronted by Adam and rounded out by Cale Gontier on bass, Cody Watkins on drums, and Tavis Stanley on guitar while founding guitarist Mike Mushok returns to work with Staind. They wasted no time in kicking things off with high energy and intense passion that resonated throughout the venue. With powerful vocals and killer instrumentals, they had the audience hooked from the first chord. With songs like “Better place” and “The Hunted” the crowd was kept on their toes. Saint Asonia‘s setlist was a perfect blend of their own hits and some surprises thrown in for good measure. From anthemic rockers to heart-wrenching ballads, they showcased their versatility as performers and musicians. The crowd
couldn’t help but sing along and move to the beat, creating an electric
atmosphere that set the tone for the night.
In addition to a full set spanning their discography, they also sprinkled in
a few throwbacks for some of us longtime fans of Adam’s previous work, performing Three Days Grace’s “Never Too Late,” “I Hate Everything
About You,” and “Riot,” as well as “I Don’t Care,” a track that Gontier
released with Apocalyptica on their 2008 album Worlds Collide. If that wasn’t enough, near the end of their set, Saint Asonia performed a flawless cover of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”
