Atlanta's Variety Playhouse welcomes soloist, ASH ISLAND, for his first solo world tour Voice Memo: Black Rose. After releasing Voice Memo the album in March, Ash Island brings new music and his genre-melding stylings to fans around the world. 

Entering the venue felt like a get-together of music-lovers ready to relax and simply align with the tone of the night. Fans mingle and sip drinks and as the lights got lower and the music got louder, the crowd flocked to the general admission floor to get the full experience. ASH ISLAND did not hold back as he opened the show with 'Drop Top.' Melodic rap being one of his specialties, it was an ideal opening song, elevated by those that followed including ballad-heavy versions like 'Empty Head' and emotional pop stylings of 'OST.'

The energy that built throughout the night could only be described as joyously infectious. Looking around the room at any moment in time, anyone could see the awe laid on faces as ASH ISLAND's vocals rang out, or the thrumming excitement as feet left the floor, jumping for songs like 'BAND' and 'One More Night.' The Korean rapper-singer spends the night thanking fans for welcoming him to Atlanta and reiterating how much he has wanted to perform here. The audience brought him back out with cheers for one final encore song to put a cap on a practically perfect evening. 

Relive the night with this fan-made setlist:
