Full of energy, The Paradox ignited the audience with their early-2000’s punk, setting the mood for the rest of the night. Follow the band on their Instagram and listen to them on Spotify.

While taking a break from singing Derek thanked the fans for their support through the years and allowing them to continue living out their dreams.

Derek encouraged the crowd to sing along to the last chorus of “Jersey” as  it was their “last opportunity to sing out loud”. As the song came to an end, Derek thanked the fans one more time and the band walked off the stage. Fans continued cheering for them.
