Treaty Oak Revival Rocks The BJC

Treaty Oak Revival took over the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday night during its West Texas Degenerate Tour to perform in front of a sold-out crowd.
The West Texas band formed in 2019 and has continued to climb the charts since the release of their first album, No Vacancy, in 2020. The West Texas Degenerate Tour’s stop in Happy Valley included opening performances from Huser Brothers and Wade Forster.
The Huser Brothers warmed the stage with their hit songs like “Tired of Runnin’,” a 2020 release off their album, “This Heart of Mine.”
“We Are” chants rang through the crowd after the lead singer explained that their previous show in New Jersey told them they had to try the chant here. The easiest way to hype up a State College crowd is no secret, folks.
Wade Forster came out shortly after to continue hyping up the venue before the much-anticipated headliner. The Australian artist expressed his gratitude in a thick Aussie accent, explaining that no other Australian has ever played a sold-out BJC show.
While he sang, the impatient crowd tried their hand at making the largest cup chain, and he egged them on. The seats continued to fill up as he sang “Gooseneck Party,” “The Last Cowboy,” and “Bailey,” a song he dedicated to a woman he loved who took her own life a few years back.
By the time Forster left the stage, the crowd was rowdy and ready for the Texas degenerates to take the stage.
The opening riff of “Port A” sent the crowd into a fit of screams while the band members ran out. They immediately led into one of their most popular hits, “Missed Call,” and lead singer Sam Canty showered his drink over front row fans.
Spilled drinks were a common theme of the night, as many audience members threw their cups across the crowd after finishing each drink, a common tradition at TOR concerts.
The band played two songs in a row from the new album, “West Texas Degenerate,” just released in 2025, including the title track and “Happy Face.”
When the band started, all they wanted to do was support their families and play for crowds like the one in front of them, Canty explained.
“This one’s for the OGs,” Canty yelled as they transitioned into “No Vacancy,” a song with over 200,000,000 streams on Spotify alone.
“Let’s get into the rock and roll shit,” he announced before beginning “In Between.”
Canty introduced his band members, including “bass bandit” Dakota Hernandez, Cody Holloway on drums, Lance Vanley on guitar and vocals, and Jeremiah Vanley on guitar.
The energy soared as the band launched into their now-infamous tradition during “Boomtown.” The band invites the crowd to launch their drink and other items through the crowd, soaking themselves and everyone around them.
The crowd cheered as liquid sprayed into the air, and people lifted one another onto their shoulders.
After the spectacle, they played hits including “Withdrawals,” “Bad State of Mind,” and “Dosin’.”
“This might be the best concert yet,” Canty cheered.
“Y’all mind if we play a love song?” he asked before launching into “Sunflower,” also off the latest album.
He ended the show with a strong trio of “Fishnets,” “See You in Court,” and “Ode to Bourbon.” As they ended, Canty asked whether Pennsylvania would have them back again, and the crowd responded with a resounding yes, evident in their yells and screams.
But before the night was over, they made sure to return with an encore of “Leaving Hell.”
“Y’all were a badass crowd. This will be one we’ll f*cking remember,” Canty yelled.
Hopefully, Treaty Oak Revival makes good on its promise, and we see them again soon on the BJC stage.
