I'm thinking about attending.
If anyone's interested in a preconcert coffee or drink, please speak up.

Melody Gardot coming to Philly
Donjr, I just revisited Gardots site and lo, she is coming to L.A. on 9/22!!! The best I could get were mezzanine seats 3 rows from the edge of the balcony since presellers bought out all the great floor seats. Ticketmaster was good enough at $65 a pop but the resellers are charging as much as $95- $731 for the good seats! Check out the gallery shots of where she's playing at; http://www.laorpheum.com/gallery.html It's the old Orpheum Theater in downtown LA. Quite the looker. Looking forward to this. All the best, Nonoise |
Nonoise. That's fantastic news. I didn't realize she was touring that extensively in the U.S. I know her European leg has ended. I truly appreciate the ops post about this. On a different note I have tickets to see Madonna in Cleveland in November. My wife and I have mixed feelings about this show. Neither of us has ever been to a pop concert and we figured why not go see her. The tickets were a fortune and quite honestly I wish I had known about Melody touring the U.S. before I ordered the Madonna tickets because I may have tried to pull off two Melody shows. Trelja. Are you thinking Philly or L.A.? I'm doing the Philly show and staying at a hotel so dinner will be in the plans. I have to research the venue yet to figure our where I'm staying and then extensive research on restaurants. We're big foodies, coffee lover's and also enjoy cocktails. We would love to share our time with any music lover's. |
I know many will not share my opinion, but I've come to think her new one is her best. I absolutely love Brazilian music so I listen to a lot of Anthony Carlos Jobim , Milton Nascimemto, Ellis Regina etc. I understand why Melody would go this route because its beautiful music. She also lives in France and the French have an infatuation with South America. Brazilian Portuguese is also a romance language and that also feeds her artistry. Any Melody fan would of course coo over the song So Long. It almost brings me to tears every time I play it. Same goes for So we meet again my heartache. Those two songs alone are worth the price of admission. Then Lisboa, being her first song to ever be sung in Portuguese is just absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad she did this work. So far she's captured my interest and shows no sign of slowing down. I hope that anyone who poo poos this Lp keeps it close by and gives it another chance. |
