[ATTENDED: October 2, 2019] Tiny Ruins
I had originally planned to see The Tallest Man on Earth at the Met Philly on this night. But some time ago he cancelled the entire North American tour. Which is a bummer, since I’d really like to see him.
However, that allowed me to go to that night’s other wonderful offering–Aldous Harding.
Tiny Ruins opened for Aldous. Tiny ruins is a band from New Zealand led by songwriter Hollie Fullbrook. In fact, for this tour, Tiny Ruins was only Fullbrook and her guitar.
She came out front and sang about a half dozen songs in her beautiful voice accompanied by her exquisite guitar playing.
She opened with “Tread Softly” and she admitted the words were written by W.B. Yeats. But she promised that the words for all of the other songs were her own.
I enjoyed listening to Hollie speak, although her accent wasn’t as strong as I imagined it would be. (more…)
