Aestheticized presents a night at New World Tampa in Tampa featuring Sawyer Hill with Never Ending Fall.

He has gone on to earn more than 130 million streams and close to a quarter billion video views, taking his music beyond Arkansas across the United States and Europe. Highlights include sold out shows at the Troubadour in Los Angeles and the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, along with an extensive run supporting Yungblud. Those miles on the road helped shape his album "Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy."
