Tuesday night was a local affair on a national scale at The Granada. The show opened with Katlyn Conroy’s La Guerre. The group has grown from Conroy solo on keys to a five-piece with Patrick Robinson, guitarist and vocalist of Clairaudients, joining on bass as the newest member.

Mates of State headlined the intimate show, returning to their roots on Mass St. Their current tour is featuring more live instrumentation and Tuesday was no exception. Their signature pop sound was rich and deep with an unplugged feel that the crowd was clearly digging.
