[DID NOT ATTEND: December 22, 2021] KT Tunstall / Christine Havrilla [moved from August 23, 2020]
So KT Tunstall was supposed to play three shows in my area. The show at Ardmore was added when the other shows were rescheduled. Then COVID pushed the shows back again.
For some reason this show was listed as being on December 8 for a short time before it was corrected to being on December 22.
That meant that it looked like she was playing four shows in the Philly area at different venues.
I like Ardmore, although if I can see a band closer I will go there instead. Even though KT’s SOPAC show was postponed, the fact that it was postponed and not cancelled meant that I could just wait until she came back to South Orange.

Initially, KT Tunstall wasn’t going to play Ardmore Music hall when she scheduled her Spring tour. She had a date at SOPAC in NJ in March and a date in Sellersville in May.
With the rescheduling of her shows, she added a show at Ardmore Music Hall, sponsored by WXPN. And there’s a really hopping poster attached to it.
Of all the advertising for her shows, this one certainly looks the most exciting. This rescheduled show was on the same date as my Wilco / Sleater-Kinney show, so I wouldn’t have gone…but with the Wilco show cancelled earlier, it was a possibility,
I had forgotten about KT Tunstall. I had her first record and then didn’t realize that she had had a couple of other (big) hits since “Suddenly I See.”
Her name has been popping up all over the place lately and each time I saw her name I wondered if I should check her out. She’s touring with Hall and Oates this summer and she seems to be doing a lot of local shows as a headliner. All of this repetition has me thinking I might go see her. But mostly I’m intrigued by how much her name is going to show up in these posts soon.
Christine Havrilla is a folksinger who sounds a bit like she could sing with the Indigo Girls. She’s from Philadelphia and apparently if she’s with her band Gypsy Fuzz she rocks out harder than solo–although the song I heard veered a bit into country.
