Mac DeMarco

In August 2014, during the vibrant Pickathon festival at Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Mac DeMarco delivered a memorable live rendition of "Let My Baby Stay." At this point in his career, he had just released his acclaimed album "Salad Days" in April 2014, which solidified his place in the indie music scene. This laid-back, jangly tune showcases DeMarco's signature sound—something between slacker rock and dreamy melodies. Interestingly, the charm of his live performance lies in its candidness; the filming may start a bit sideways due to the exuberance of the moment, but as the song progresses, it captures the warmth and relaxed vibe DeMarco is known for. It’s a perfect snapshot of the artist during a time when he was really starting to connect with audiences, blending heartfelt lyrics with a casual, almost carefree performance style.
