On April 19th, singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers took the stage at the House of Blues in Chicago, Illinois to perform 16 of her most beloved songs—including “Alaska,” “All the Same” and “Don’t Forget Me”—the title-track from her most recent LP.

While reviewing Don’t Forget Me, critic Alex Gonzalez wrote that “Over the past five years, [Rogers has] found calm within the chaos—not necessarily becoming an anti-pop star, but rather, an interesting part of the mainstream landscape. Though you might not hear her on pop radio, Rogers is on a good amount of pop and indie playlists on digital streaming platforms. Expressing a whirlwind of emotions through her distinct vocals and musical chemistry with live instrumentation, Rogers’ lore has become the narration for the lives of those of us constantly searching for what’s next On her latest album, Don’t Forget Me, Rogers’ songwriting process parallels her navigation with love and loss, on her way to finding a calmer, more assured version of herself.”

“A 36-minute story, Don’t Forget Me is Rogers’ shortest project thus far,” Gonzalez continued. “It is also her most sonically and lyrically cohesive, featuring some of her most captivating, folkloric songcraft yet. Allowing the listeners to create a world around her words and sounds, Rogers is at her best when she keeps it simple and sweet.”
