veirs at the norde

last night i went to see laura veirs at the cafe de norde in san francisco. for anyone who is unfamiliar with ms. veirs music, i must say it is outstanding. start with either saltbreakers or year of meteors, both albums are great. the live show did not disappoint. she is playing with a band called the saltbreakers, all stellar musicians. it was one of the most genuine experiences i have had lately. there was nothing bombastic or rock starrish about it. it was a pristine example of people who loved to make and play music, and were very good at it. and it was a lot of fun. good times.
