Morgan Wade showcased her ample strengths, as well as the one area that still needs work, during her show at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
Morgan Wade was in the midst of telling a story about, of all things, her energy bill when she suddenly stopped herself.
Wade underscored all the reasons why so many people are excited about her career as she filled a roughly 90-minute set at the legendary Bay Area with one great tune after another. She devoted a little more than half the evening to her sole major-label album, “Reckless,” which stands as one of the most impressive debuts — from any music genre — in recent years.
At just 28, Wade comes across like an “old soul” — in all the best ways — as she offers up well-earned perspective and hardscrabble lines that address addiction, mental health and, most convincingly, the relationship between love and loss. The hole in Wade’s game, at least in comparison to the lofty heights reached with her vocal work and songwriting, is that she’s certainly not the most captivating performer at this stage of her career. She didn’t do a lot extra to engage the crowd or sell the songs at the Fillmore, putting very little energy into her performance as she basically just slowly walked about the stage for most of the show.
