I had know she was coming for quite a while but hadn't been able to find anyone to go with. Mostly because no one I know had heard of her. One of my friends said I I was desperate she would go even if she wasn't very keen on the music. After R&V I asked one of the guys we met there if he knew who Lindsey Stiriling was and he did. I was pretty excited because he had heard of her. He ever agreed to go to the concert with me.
On the night of the concert Rob and Tanya we're going to the circus in town and were kind enough to take us Ito town with them. We started walking to find food and stopped by Johnny Barr's for pre-dinner snickers milkshakes. Then we went to Cajun Kitchen. Unfortunately the milk shake filled me up so much that I couldn't enjoy my jambalaya very much. Once we had eaten part of our dinner and felt enormously fat we rolled our way to a taxi that took us to the Power Station.
It was really crowed and hot but we were able to find a spot where we could see that wasn't too hot. The crowd was an interesting mix of people. There were people dressed in steam punk, gamers, goth, hippish and more main stream dressed people. I love the her music attracts such a large variety of people.
We got there around 830 and she came on at 9. The concert was awesome. She has insanely high energy. The whole concert she was bouncing around. She had crazy sparkly pants on which were super cool. About half way through she had a break and they played a video about her life. She played all of my favorite songs and of course played her Lord of the Rings rendition (cause it's New Zealand).
She stopped every two or three songs to chat with the audience. You could tell that she was winded from dancing and playing. It was pretty cool. Her pianist and drummer would chime in as well. They had a fun bantering dynamic which was very entertaining. The first time she spoke I was shocked at how American she sounds. I know that I have lost some of my accent because people occasionally think I'm a Kiwi but I hadn't realized what a strong American accent sounded like until she started speaking.
A brief sample of Lindsey's music:
