OneRepublic at Mountain Winery | Saratoga, California | 9/8/2013 (Concert Review)

“Tonight what you see is a very, very, very stripped, stripped version of what it is that we do on a nightly basis…”  OneRepublic’s show at Mountain Winery in Saratoga Sunday night was one of those very rare shows that surprised me (in a good way) on all counts.  It was my first time seeing the band live, who are touring their latest studio album, Native (more on that later, also in a good way).  Since it was such a different show from the norm, I can’t really account for what is different, though I suspect it was much more acoustic-driven than their typical set, though both approaches certainly do justice to their material.  One thing that was apparent is that the group is made up of musicians at heart, and perfectionists in recreating their music on stage in a very real way.  Their crew quite masterfully swapped out instruments (large on small) on stage in-between each song, helping to create a very memorable night that was a tapestry of the great music that OneRepublic has created.  They sounded phenomenal and their identity as a band certainly came through in a variety of ways, especially their relationships with each other and boundless energy on stage.  The experience definitely made me a bigger fan and my curiosity is definitely piqued and interested in checking out the other kind of show that they referenced as different from this one, which felt quite intimate and special.
