AJR’s Summer in the Sky Tour recently rolled through Merriweather Post Pavilion, bringing vivacity, theatrics, and earworms aplenty to share with everyone who gathered on the lawn and under the pavilion. While the ambiance of Columbia, Maryland’s largest venue is impossible to deny, AJR showed up to bring the mood even higher. And they meant it — the audience erupted as the set opened up with “Way Less Sad.”

As expected, an AJR show is more than just a concert, it’s an immersive experience allowing anyone and everyone to sing, sway, jump, and emote in whatever way the music guides them. By the third song of the set, “Yes I’m A Mess,” even lead singer Jack Met couldn’t resist interacting with the band’s own screen projections.
