The Beaches Return to Nashville Bigger and Better Than Ever

The Beaches look a little different since their last show in Nashville, a little romp over at Nashville’s ‘if you know you know’ favorite, The East Room, in 2023. Two years later, still riding the high of their 2023 crossover hit “Blame Brett,” the quintet have packed out Brooklyn Bowl—and that’s one of the smaller rooms on the headline tour.

To say the past year for The Beaches has been huge would be an understatement. Lollapalooza, Coachella, Austin City Limits, and Tennessee’s own Bonarroo have all brought the band in since their last Nashville show, paired with tours across the globe. The band is currently out in support of their new album No Hard Feelings, which released in August. Made up of childhood friends Jordan Miller (vocals, bass), Kylie Miller (guitar), Eliza Enman-McDaniel (drums), alongside Leandra Earl (guitar, keyboards) who joined the group in 2013, the band has been playing music together since 2009. Now in 2025, the band seems to be in full stride, successfully making the jump from regionally-famous Canadians to an outright phenomenon.

Breaking a seemingly unspoken norm, The Beaches kick the night off with their album closer “Last Girls at the Party,” a rowdy and exciting start to the night. A pop-rock anthem, this is the perfect introduction to the band. For most, it’s their first time seeing the band live and “Last Girls at the Party” sets the tone. It’s bouncy, but in the ‘kick you in the chest’ sort of way. It’s catchy, but still dynamic enough to keep you on your toes. It’s simply a good song. This band feels much bigger than the stage they’re on, in fact, they’ve actually downscaled their production for this show. Despite this, backed by drum risers, floor lights, and a massive light up ‘The Beaches’ sign, the band has brought one of the biggest touring productions I’ve seen in the venue.

Not ones to shy away from the gritty details, “Touch Myself” sees The Beaches get intimate with their audience out the gate. Despite its poppy instrumentation, it doesn’t take a lot to gather the story behind this one. This is a cornerstone of The Beaches’ music, sharing the intimate moments, candid thoughts, and just being authentically themselves. It’s part of what built the band to where they are, they understand the value in connection with their fans.

Breaking away from their recent material, “Me & Me” pulls from the band’s 2023 album Blame My Ex. A more melodic rock song, we see Miller’s low and steady voice backed up by periodic gang vocals, adding to the arena-ready nature of much of their music and engaging the crowd. In a very literal sense, The Beaches are people pleasers—taking full control of the crowd, the band might have some of the best stage presence I’ve seen all year. The Beaches have a dedicated following, yes, but the ability to absolutely mold the audience to their will, adding singalongs, back-and-forths, and every trick in the arsenal, is still a skill very few acts can master.

I’m not sure you’ll find a band quite as fun as The Beaches. They’re the spunky underdogs that have popped out on top and you can’t help but cheer them on. It’s clear that touring is not something they take lightly, they have invested heavily into it and genuinely aim to deliver a night to remember for fans. I’ve personally been covering a lot of legacy bands lately, and while those shows have been incredible, its so refreshing to see the non-so-new kids on the block crush. I can’t recommend catching The Beaches enough, go see a show while you can.
