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.
