[DID NOT ATTEND: April 21, 2023] Andy Shauf / Marina Allen
After not seeing Andy Shauf a bunch of times the last few years, I also managed to not see him again this year.
There were three other shows happening this night, two of which I was really torn about. So even though I would like to see Andy Shauf some day, the other shows were booked long before this was announced.
I am pleased to see that Andy does seem to come around quite a lot, so I’m sure he’ll be back next Spring.
Marina Allen is opening for him on this tour. According to her label she is a
once-in-a-decade five-tool musician: She writes beautiful melodies and brilliant lyrics, expresses her ideas with an unusual voice of extraordinary depth and range, thinks in fanciful arrangements, and constantly navigates the knife-edge between too much and too little.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a blurb quite like that before.
I listened to her first song on Spotify “Falls on Me,” and I would have guessed that it was literally from the 1970s. She has an absolute classic-sounding voice. I can’t get over how much she sounds like a blast from the past. I can’t decide if I love it or hate it.
