Audrey & I ~ We met at Ophelia's Electric Soapbox to hear a fav songwriter, Margret Glaspy in this intimate & funky venue. Audrey walked to the show! We enjoyed reserved seating in row 1 above the mosh pit so basically arrived just in time for the opener. I don't quite know why the marquis selfie is oddly colored but whatever.
Olive Klug ~ We quickly toured the theater and found our seats for the opener Olive Klug. She was a great surprise as we'd not heard her or her songs before. They were excellent with shades of Dylan protest vibes. She was a capable multi-instrumentalist from Portland & Nashville with a great soprano range and falsetto, and her songwriting is stellar. It was early so we got some totties and returned to enjoy the headliner.
Margret Glaspy ~ Clearly she's the reason I got the tix initially and we were excited to hear her live. I've followed her for quite some time in Brooklyn and now Michigan and the vibe's changed some but her songs always drip emotions and observation of relations and self. She mostly played stuff from her recent albums: "Echo The Diamond" and "I Am Both." There were many good songs and her playing was precise, almost clinical. She added two different harmonicas with ease. Her delivery this night was technical, not animated, and very good but betrayed the underlying gut wrenches within her words. One 3 song mash up was clever moving from lost love to unrequited love to loving relationship. Really good songs; really good musician; really good artist. Fun venue with Audrey... thanks for coming out. Thanks Margret.
