I have met a couple of incredible musicians up in Cape Breton performing in small, comfortable venues, and have had similar encounters.

I'll have to check out Ms. Carlie's music. <br /><br />I have 3x been gifted with an unexpected encounter with a celebrity (one being Rick Springfield back in his heydey) and every time -- despite the fact that I am generally articulate and rarely short of words -- I have been so startled my "polite" manners kicked in and I did the "right" thing rather than the "fan" thing. I console myself with the knowledge that I'll likely never end up on the front page of the newspaper as a nutcase fan.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498585754859544614.post-42188798662605916752010-10-14T14:40:18.336-04:002010-10-14T14:40:18.336-04:00Hmmm it's always so interesting when the openi...Hmmm it's always so interesting when the opening act becomes an act you really like.

Brandi Carl...Unexpected gift is putting it mildly! Brandi Carlile is an incredible musician, a great songwriter, and she has an unbelievable voice. I've been following her since the very first minute I heard her on WFUV about 3 years ago. In my humble opinion, she blows Sheryl Crow away on every level - Sheryl should be opening for Brandi! In a recent article in Newsday, Sheryl Crow describes her own songwriting style as "ethereal". Ethereal?? Has anyone out there every really paid attention to the lyrics of "All I Wanna Do"? And, for reasons I'll never understand, she insists on singing in a key just slightly too high for her range - nails on the chalkboard for me!<br />But back to Brandi - she's awesome!! I encourage all of you out there to listen to 90.7 WFUV (www.wfuv.org) You'll hear her music played regularly (and not just one song, but lots of her stuff), and you'll hear other great "barely known" artists as well!<br />Great post, Chris! And yes, I totally get the Bonnie Raitt connection...Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498585754859544614.post-83349759895921144682010-10-12T23:19:03.713-04:002010-10-12T23:19:03.713-04:00Oh, I agree with Lily!
