Sia on the Third street Promenade /DON WAS at the Orpheum
Sia, The Australian singer-songwriter just performed a half-hour set at the Hear Music Starbucks store on the promenade.
The above is a poor Treo shot -- but it is now de rigueur for people to hold up their cellphones during performances and take pics and I felt I owed my audience a little documentation.
Sia has a great stage manor, goofy and chatty all the time (she even does a bit of mugging that calls to mind Harpo Marx), but when she starts to sing, something else takes over. A song to a boyfriend telling him "I'm the girl you lost to cocaine" stays with you as do her other tunes that she performed such as "Little Black Sandals."
All in all a Valentine Day treat!
BUT ON TO THE MAIN EVENT:
WAS / WAS NOT is performing at the Orpheum tonight! (for my Tommywood column on Don and Was/Not Was
click here.
Opening is Jill Sobule, who seems to get mucho press on Tommywood. As they used to say, "The Girl can't help it"
My wife and I are very excited to be celebrating V-Day watching Was/Was Not preforming with special guests such as the legendary Brian Wilson and Kris Kristofferson.
See you there? If not, I'll report in manana.
