The Girls

June 25th, 2008

The Indigo Girls played an amazing set. There were only a few songs I couldn’t sing to [I love when that happens] and they were songs off their not yet released album. I can’t wait till February to hear the whole thing! Also, Amy Ray has a new solo album coming out July 22.

Funny thing. When we were walking up to the door, this guy came over to me and asked me if I’ve ever met Emily, as if it was totally normal for this to happen. I said no, and he proceeded to tell me that she would flip if she saw how much I look like her in a younger sort of way. I asked him if he knows her and he said, kind of awkwardly, that he does. I’m thinking he’s a roadie or something. Towards the end of the concert, I saw him at the front of the crowd flailing himself about with all of the women that were dancing.

Brandi Carlile was the opener. I didn’t expect such a strong voice from such a small girl. She totally blew me away! I tend to have twinges of jealousy towards people with so much musical talent. I think it’s time to pick up the guitar again. She really was amazing, and I loved how Amy & Emily asked her [and the rest of her band] to join them on a bunch of their songs.

Mom - Thank you for the fun night!

Here’s a video of Brandi:
