An Electric Night with Infinity Song

There are concerts you enjoy in the moment and then there are concerts you can still physically feel the next morning.
After seeing Infinity Song at Manning Bar on Saturday 12 September 2026, I woke up with a very sore neck. It stayed sore for the next few days, which was probably inevitable after spending so much of the night dancing and headbanging.
I already loved Infinity Song before seeing them live, but somehow they sound even better in person. Their music is known for its beautiful harmonies and nostalgic sound, but live, there’s so much more energy to it. The guitars are louder, the vocals are stronger and some of the songs feel completely different when you’re standing in a room listening to them.
Infinity Song are a New York-based soft-rock group made up of siblings Abraham, Angel, Israel and Momo Boyd. Music has been part of their lives since childhood. Their parents founded the Boys & Girls Choirs of Detroit and the siblings grew up surrounded by classical music, gospel and jazz. Their family later moved from Detroit to New York, where the siblings began performing around the city. They eventually became regular performers at Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain before catching the attention of Jay-Z and signing with Roc Nation.

Knowing their background makes watching them perform together even more interesting. There’s something very natural about the way they interact onstage and the way their voices come together. Their harmonies are obviously a huge part of what makes Infinity Song so distinctive, but hearing them live makes you appreciate just how good they actually are.
They opened the show with “Dreams”, their cover of the Fleetwood Mac classic. I love “Dreams”, so this was already a great way to start the night. Rather than trying to recreate the original, Infinity Song put their own spin on it. It still sounded like the song everyone knows, but their harmonies gave it that very recognisable Infinity Song sound.
A couple of songs into the set, they told us they were having technical issues. Some of the band members couldn’t hear themselves properly, which is obviously a nightmare when you’re performing live, especially when so much of your music relies on harmonies. They kept apologising but, honestly, I couldn’t tell. If they hadn’t told us there were sound issues, I don’t think I would’ve known. They still sounded incredible and somehow managed to work through the problems without allowing them to take away from the show.
One of my favourite moments of the night was “American Love Song”, sung by Momo. It’s already one of my favourite songs, so I was looking forward to hearing it live, but Momo’s voice was even better than I expected. There’s such a beautiful clarity to her voice, but also so much emotion behind it. Hearing her sing “American Love Song” live made me appreciate the song even more. You can hear every word so clearly, but it never feels overly polished or perfect. There’s still so much feeling behind it.
Throughout the night, they performed songs including “No One Comes Close”, “Sinking Boat”, “Slow Burn”, “Hater’s Anthem”, “Sayonara” and “Metamorphosis”. One of the things I noticed was how different some of the songs sounded live. The guitars come through more, the drums feel louder and the whole band takes on a much stronger rock sound.
At one point, Israel was playing the guitar behind his back, which only added to the atmosphere. The whole room was electric. You could feel the energy from the band feeding into the crowd and coming straight back at them. It was palpable and almost impossible not to move along with the music. This probably explains why my neck hurt so much the next morning.

Another highlight came during “London Foxes”, when Momo and Abraham came off the stage and into the crowd. Everyone gathered around them as they performed in the middle of the audience, making what was already quite an intimate show feel even more personal. It was also another example of what made the night so much fun. There never felt like there was much distance between the band and the audience.

There are some artists whose music sounds almost exactly the same live as it does through your headphones. Infinity Song aren’t one of them. Their harmonies are already beautiful on their recordings, but hearing them live makes you realise how impressive they actually are. Their voices blend together so naturally, while each of them still has a distinctive voice when they take the lead. There’s also so much more energy to their live performances than I expected. Songs I’d listened to countless times suddenly felt bigger, louder and more alive.
To top it all off, I got to meet Momo, Abraham and Israel after the show and have a good chat with them. They were genuinely so delightful. What struck me most was how calm and relaxed they were. You would never have guessed they’d just spent more than two hours onstage singing, dancing and giving us that much energy. Honestly, what athletes.

Needless to say, my very sore neck was completely worth it. I’m already hoping they make their way back to Sydney soon.
Yours, in style and curiosity
