Donjr: I wish it was closer for you but hey, at least you're getting a chance to see her. She is truly amazing. Like I said, she has different arrangements live than what's on her albums. On one song, instead of playing the keys of the piano, she reached inside the piano and started plucking strings! Once while standing at the mike she held something in her hand that was making a "rattling" sound when she shook it, and stomped her high heels onto the wooden stage to keep rhythm while singing some spiritual hymn.....by herself with no band. AMAZING! That's what I want to see and hear when I attend live music: artists that do something different and innovative. I hate when i hear a band and it sounds like I pressed the "play" button at home.
Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Just wanted to let everyone in the area know that Melody Gardot is coming to Philadelphia September 29th. I had the pleasure of hearing her live twice and she and her band were amazing. While performing different arrangements than what's on her albums, she also does some standards. A true talent. If you're in the area, check her out at the Merriam theater. Tickets went on sale this week.

Donjr, I just revisited Gardots site and lo, she is coming to L.A. on 9/22!!! The best I could get were mezzanine seats 3 rows from the edge of the balcony since presellers bought out all the great floor seats. Ticketmaster was good enough at $65 a pop but the resellers are charging as much as $95- $731 for the good seats! Check out the gallery shots of where she's playing at; http://www.laorpheum.com/gallery.html It's the old Orpheum Theater in downtown LA. Quite the looker. Looking forward to this. All the best, Nonoise |
