Editor’s Note: Maggie Rogers walked on stage at Royale on Monday night (November 5), the first of two sold-out shows, wearing a white t-shirt that said “Maggie Rogers wants you to vote.” And she wasn’t kidding; the Maryland singer-songwriter, fresh off her Saturday Night Live debut over the weekend, took part in the iVoted initiative, offering free tickets to Tuesday’s show to those who voted during Election Day. After her two-night swing in Boston, she should consider running for office: Rogers went viral in 2016 thanks to Pharrell Williams, and she hasn’t slowed down since. At Royale she previewed her forthcoming album Heard It in a Past Life, which hits in January via Capitol Records, and kept the crowd in a trance. Violet Foulk was in the room on behalf of Vanyaland capturing images of her performance, and that of opener Mallrat, and you can scan through her full gallery below.
