While Adams is currently touring in support of his newest album, Prisoner (2017), his set list spanned his extensive career, including crowd favourites “Gimme Something Good” and “Come Pick Me Up.” Although I was a little disappointed he didn’t play my favourite song, “Desire,” I did discover a new one: “When The Stars Go Blue.” Blue lights danced across the Orpheum as Adams sang, it was magical.Ībout halfway through the concert, Adams’ band left the stage. Eloquently summing up the general feel of the night, he at one point said, “This is a very awkward date we’re on tonight, isn’t it?” He has no problem letting his freak flag fly, as evidenced by his choice of stage decor (several large stuffed animals) and emcee (some guy in a creepy costume, with an evil goat mask). Īdams is so bizarre that even the nonsensical stuff he says is funny as all hell. On several occasions, he poked fun at audience members: one guy most likely regretted whipping out his iPad to take a picture of Adams and another, I’m sure, thought twice about resting his hand on his chin. How about – I want to be his best friend! Ryan Adams has a unique sense of humour, and isn’t afraid to let it loose on stage. I don’t even know where to start Adams’ talent and devil-may-care attitude left me with a lot to discuss. Her music is mesmerizing and her voice is mysterious everything about her left me wanting more. Although her sound may not be for everyone, one listen is all you need to see how talented she is. Her sound is right up my alley: the darkness in the instrumentals along with the lightness of her voice is a juxtaposition I very much enjoy. The melodies are very raw and dark she jokingly noted “I sing really happy songs, here’s another uplifting one.” Although her voice is soft, it’s also clear and strong. Word to the wise: listening to her studio album on YouTube just does not do her justice. Not having heard of Elson, I turned to Google to see what she was all about. Elson’s tunes, however, are more melancholic with slower beats and an accompanying violinist and harpist to enhance the wistful feel. Despite their extremes in personality, the two artists share a common moodiness in their style. Her quiet demeanor and soft voice stood in stark contrast to Adams’ comically obnoxious behaviour.
