![]() as she twirled her red scarf and selected one woman (who had thrown half of herself on the stage) to wrap the garment around her neck, i actually found myself becoming jealous! it was then that i realized what fun i was having and how tantalizing she was, drawing me closer and closer, pushing others out of the way to get a better view and of course take a few videos/photos. such flirting she did! such encouraging, such teasing, such smiles and laughter. as i also mentioned, there was no question that not only did this jamming seem like a ritual around her performances, she actually encouraged it. wow, was i angry and enough so that i thought – never again will i attend such an event. but within minutes of her first song, the stage was rushed by 100+ (mostly) women who not only blocked my view but prevented me from actually seeing kdl from any angle. sitting in the second row, close enough to reach out and touch the lip of stage front, i was thrilled beyond belief to be so close to her. She seemed to hit ultra high notes just as she as done her whole career.Īs i wrote some time back somewhere on a different blog, i was shocked by the behavior of the audience in 2012 when i saw kdl in montreal – the very last night of her very last concert on tour. I would have to say that the same is true for Jane Siberry as well. are crowd pleasers, they sang “Calling all Angels” as the very last song. I believe it was a Jane original for this show. The first song she sang along with the other 2 artists and Jane. was on stage a total of 10 minutes, so getting pics was not so easy! She also was very focused on what she was doing. She sang twice, each time as “backup” if you can call k.d. sing?” The truth is, I do not fully know. What an artist! I did not see any evidence of anyone professionally recording the show, but there was an uber cute tech guy in the back monitoring the lights, sound and such. For real, if we had not known about k.d., we would think that these girls were the best ever. Theses artists are Rebecca Jenkins and Ali Hughes, and WOW! Just shows you how extraordinarily talented k.d. There was a pianist, a cellist, and two “back up” singers, who could have easily sold out the place on their own. Jane had 4 awesome artists with her (not counting k.d.). ![]() Not exactly a holiday show, not exactly a spoken word performance, and not exactly a recital. to “pass the butter” at any time.įor Jane Siberry fans it will be no surprise that this show was, well, “different”. Even though I stayed way in the back, I felt like I could have asked k.d. ![]() All the artists were practically within arm’s reach the whole time. Inside and upstairs is a ballroom that seats about 120 people. There is one fairly obvious clue that this place is a PLACE and that is that it is flanked by two bars! But if you look twice (I had to) you can see the “flyer” for Jane Siberry’s show. ![]() For real, I have seen puppet shows with a bigger marquee. I know I did! But behind this seemingly paltry facade lives an entertainment mecca. The Secret Society is well hidden and easy to drive past. If you were to drive down this typical Portland street, you would never guess that 8 hours from the time this shot was taken, two of the most awesome musical artists would be taking the house down in one of the modest structures that line the curbs. ![]()
