Mac DeMarco

In 2019, right before the live recording of "Freaking Out The Neighborhood" at the Osheaga festival in Montreal, Mac DeMarco had just released his critically acclaimed album "This Old Dog" in 2017. This record showcased his signature laid-back style while diving deeper into themes of love and adulthood, marking a maturation in his sound compared to earlier works. By 2019, DeMarco was gaining significant recognition in the indie music scene, and his performances were becoming more refined and energetic, yet still maintaining that offbeat charm fans adore. The energy at Osheaga, where he connected with a vibrant crowd, highlighted his ability to blend casual stage presence with profound musicality. It’s interesting to note that during this period, Mac’s approach to his performance was less about rockstar antics and more about creating an intimate and relatable experience with his audience.
