Performance Anxiety: Dearly Beloved

This show features the band Dearly Beloved. The band’s mainstays are Rob Higgins and Niva Chow. Rob grew up in the presence of great music. He started going to Rush concerts while he was still in single digits and hanging out with his uncle, Geddy Lee. After the death of his father, Rob really wanted to just make music with people he loved. That was 14 years ago and the beginning of Dearly Beloved. But there’s a lot more in this show; like the time Rob toured with Our Lady Peace and had four days to learn all the keyboard parts on paper towels. There’s the time his arm blew up. And how about the time Dearly Beloved recorded an entire album and forgot about it? Well, they’ve recently released a new album called Times Square Discount that they haven’t forgotten about. It’s a really wild album. Check it out on bandcamp or wherever you get your music nowadays. Follow the @thebeloveds on social media. Follow their bird, Bruce Lee @bruceleebeverlyhillsbird on IG. He’s relentless. But this show is pretty chill. Check out Rob Higgins & Niva Chow here on Performance Anxiety.
