Kaash Paige rolled into Antone’s on Memorial Day weekend and turned the historic Austin venue into a full-on R&B sanctuary. With a packed crowd, wall-to-wall fans singing every lyric like scripture, and a magnetic presence that felt both chill and commanding, Kaash proved once again that she’s not just riding the wave — she is the wave.

The show felt less like a concert and more like an intimate kickback with 300 of your closest emotionally fluent friends. It wasn’t just the music — it was the connection. Kaash snapped videos on fans’ phones mid-set, gave shoutouts, laughed, flirted, and made the whole place feel like her living room. The energy was alive, loud, and leaning heavily queer (as it should be). As one fan put it: “She’s a cutie. I’d hit it.”

And the music? Smooth. Confessional. Undeniably Kaash. She played her breakout hit “Love Songs” to a wave of cheers — then played it again because the crowd demanded it. Her voice floated somewhere between a whisper and a confession, raw and slick all at once, with tracks from Teenage Fever, Parked Car Convos, and S2ML sliding effortlessly into each other. It felt personal, like every line was being sung directly to you.

Local openers Grace Sorensen and Dee Gatti set the tone with moody, sultry sets of their own — a perfect warmup for what was to come. But once Kaash stepped on stage, it was clear who owned the night. No features, no frills, just a girl, a mic, and a room full of people who showed up to feel something.

Whether you came for the hits or just needed to cry-croon with strangers on a Saturday night, Kaash Paige delivered the soundtrack. And on a weekend built for backyard barbecues and beer runs, Antone’s was the spot where love songs reigned supreme.
