November 17, 2023 — Del Water Gap's tour finale at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles was a truly spectacular night. A captivating experience from start to finish, leader singer and producer Holden Jaffe showcased his musical prowess and the unique charm of indie music. Del Water Gap took the stage with an infectious energy that only increased as the night went on. 

The setlist featured a mix of fan favorites, (the og ones that still feel like a secret when they come on shuffle), top hits that ring like anthems, and songs from his latest album "I Miss You Already + I Haven't Left Yet". The crowd chanted and sang along to every word and adlib. Holden's soulful vocals echoed the depth of emotion embedded deep into his lyrics alongside his masterful band ultimately crafting a rich sonic tapestry of emotions. 

One of the highlights of the show was halfway through the night when Holden entered the into the crowd while singing "Perfume", inciting a huge mosh pit and explosion of energy. Throughout the entire night the lead singer's banter and connection with the crowd felt like a tangible line to cling to. 

Del Water Gap is sincere, explosive, honest, and more than anything grateful; both in his work, where you find a blend of heartbreak and deeper contemplations, and on stage at a sold-out Fonda Theatre, sharing profuse thanks to his crew and the crowd. Whether you were a longtime fan or a newcomer to Del Water Gap's music, the tour finale was an evening that will never be forgotten.
