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.
