There's something special about seeing an artist on the rise in a venue as intimate as Òran Mór, and Alana Springsteen proved exactly why she's becoming one of country music's brightest young stars.

In an interview with Loudwire in April, Momsen said,”...It almost has this feel of it [being] directly ripped out of my diary. You're really getting the inside of how my mind works on this one." She’s not wrong. Gone is the ambiguity in the songwriting, giving the listener more of a direct line to the vulnerability and assertiveness Momsen poured into the lyrics.

Domani's Forever Lasting Tour stopped at The Echo on June 23, 2026, with DJ Jonny Kaine, Reuben Vincent, and King Harris opening the night before the headliner took the stage.
