Always Mine (Live at Odd Colony): A Peek at Logan Pilcher's Upcoming Album

Concerts naturally cultivate a sense of community, of mutual enjoyment whether the band is nationally recognized or locally renowned. While concerts may bring people together, I know from experience that some performances create a stronger emotional connection between the artists and audience than others. Factors such as location, seating, and overall ambiance contribute to a performance’s mood, but what enhances the experience is something that goes beyond the concert’s aesthetics and sound. When musicians have not only a deep love for their craft, but a love for those who helped make their songs and present them, the music evolves from a simple listening experience to a love letter for the journey it took to get to that performance. This phenomenon was only further confirmed when I watched Logan Pilcher and his friends perform in Odd Colony’s back room one February night; thankfully, this concert won’t live on through memories alone. With the help of other creatives, the performance was captured and edited into a live album, Every Color of the Sun, for viewers and listeners to either relive or experience for the first time. 

Getting to watch Pilcher and his friends perform at Odd Colony was an unforgettable experience. The concert was a release show for Beautiful Løser, Pilcher's newest album (which, if you haven't checked that out, I highly recommend giving the album a listen-through). Upon walking into the brewery’s back room, my eyes were immediately drawn to Pilcher's intricate performance setup. Wooden chairs and benches formed a circle around the carpeted stage of sorts. Illuminating the space with a warm glow was a plethora of hanging lights and vintage lamps spread across the floor, which accented the room’s exposed wood ceilings and dangling dried flower bouquets; to put it simply, Pilcher’s venue was every eclectic hipster’s dream concert layout. The cozy mood was established early on through the setting, but Pilcher and the other performers’ music electrified the mellow atmosphere. 

The concert flowed almost like a conversation, which, I think, was due to how coordinated yet relaxed the set was. The procession of songs was broken up with moments where Pilcher would talk to the audience about the next song he was going to perform, or briefly chat with the band; although the words conversed between band members remained unheard, seeing the performers grin or laugh at the words exchanged showed the love each member had for both their craft and the group they shared the stage with. While small interludes where the artists talk to the band or audience are not uncommon in live concerts, the intimate setting gave these interludes a more personal impact.

What stood out to me most during the concert was how Pilcher and the band altered the set to create a cohesive listening experience for the audience. Although Pilcher performed music from his newest album, he also included songs from when he first started releasing original songs, which had a softer vibe compared to the decidedly more upbeat Beautiful Løser. Pilcher and the band supplemented the eras' dissonance by reworking songs like Sweatervest and Always Mine to include vibrant percussion and bright guitar lines similar to that of Pilcher's current sound. Pilcher’s previously subdued folk-y sound evolved to match Beautiful Løser’s vibrant, easygoing indie-pop, which cultivated the set’s aforementioned coordination. 

Every Color of the Sun's significance exceeds simply being a documentation of Pilcher and his friends' talents in both video and audio format. Through this album, Pilcher aims to convey the versatile nature of music, as well as highlight the tight-knit music community he found in the Florida panhandle. Thanks to drummer Luke Seager, guitarist Landry Lowrimore (who also gave an excellent opening performance for the concert), bassist Ben Lowrimore, videographer Zach Brown, and photographer Nathan Saczynski, Every Color of the Sun allowed Pilcher to achieve the live album's driving goal: to honor both the actions taken to get to that moment, and those who helped him get there.

The album itself is set to hit the airwaves January 9th, 2026, but you get a chance to check out a bit of Every Color of the Sun now through Pilcher's recently-released single Always Mine - Live at Odd Colony.
