Thanks to Lisa 'Pilates' for the company (and ALICE 97.3 for the tix) to see the wonderful Katie Melua tonight at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall.
Ms Melua is an extremely powerful stage presence and a very talented, young singer/songwriter. After "I Cried For You," there was not a dry eye in the house. If Eva Cassidy were to be re-incarnated, she would come back as Katie Melua.
Katie blew the crowd away with her captivating renditions of Shy Boy; Just Like Heaven; Nine Million Bicycles; Piece By Piece; I Cried For You; My Aphrodisiac Is You; Spider's Web; Crawling Up A Hill; Call Off The Search; Belfast; Blame It On The Moon; I Do Believe in Love; Halfway Up The Hindu Kush and encores Mockingbird; The Closest Thing to Crazy (my favorite!); Faraway Voice (a tribute to Eva Cassidy).
Grab your guitar and play along! Visit Ultimate Guitar for the chords and lyrics. It's just five chords - Am, Em, Dm, F, and C. Well, ok, seven if you include the lovely, feminine Fm contrasted with the strong, masculine G she throws in for good measure in the chorus. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy!
Check out more of her music at KatieMelua.com. Thanks again Lisa for an inspired, enchanting evening
