Robert Plant

Most rock performers that gain huge celebrity status in their early career tend to stick to the same formula whether or not they can pull it off or not, but Robert Plant is unlike these performers. Robert Plant knows he is aging and he has shifted his musical compositions into forms that he handles impeccably well. Other singers often do not have the nerve to shift their style of performance as they grow older, but musicians such as Tom Waits and Robert Plant know how to move with the times and end up venturing into new territories that see them producing the highest quality of music.
Robert Plant’s most recent concerts are a complete joy to see live. His shows contain a sense of maturity to them. He does not participate in the high-pitched shrieks and yells that he so masterfully produced in classic Led Zeppelin recordings, but his style has changed to the tune of more traditional folk standards, singing like an old soul with an angelic voice. It should not be a surprise that Robert Plant’s new style encompasses the ranges of traditional folk music. Robert Plant has been a fan of traditional folk standards since the early days of Led Zeppelin. The album, Led Zeppelin III, contains the folk standard, “Gallows Pole”, which Robert Plant frequently puts on his recent setlists. Robert Plant also performs other classic Led Zeppelin songs from his setlist such as “Tangerine” and a slow-downed, bluegrass rendition of “Black Dog”.
Robert Plant also tours with very skilled backing musicians. He has previously toured with the phenomenal bluegrass singer, Alison Krauss, who adds rich layers to Robert Plant’s songs by harmonizing in perfect pitch with him. Robert Plant has also brought other talented bands such as Band of Joy and Sensational Space Shifters with him on tour to perform new songs as well as some of our favorite Led Zeppelin tunes. Robert Plant is one of the most well respected singers still out there performing. Rolling Stone magazine has included him on the list of “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” and he has also been nominated for numerous Grammy awards. If you get a chance to see him live, Robert Plant will prove to you how his style has matured with him for the better and why he is one of the best singers still performing.

Oh my gosh! She and the band were AWESOME!! While her latest CD is great, in person was absolutely unbelievable! ! Go see Brandi's concert if anyway possible! The audience felt the bands energy and better yet the band felt our energy!

Witnessed their show in Madison Wisconsin. Must see them live to be appreciated for a live music show. They were impressive on how the harmonies we so beautifully done on a cold night at the UW Union theater. Great that they spent so much time at the merchandise table after that show. Can’t wait to see their show come to Chicago in March of 2019.

Canadian singer-songwriter, Kathleen Edwards, performs with a type of sincerity that will capture your heart with its emotive lyrics and hook you with the music’s catchy riffs.
Although Canadian, her music has often been compared to the Americana genre. She has been influenced by some of rock and roll’s greatest musicians such as Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and fellow Canadian, Neil Young, and these influences have clearly steeped through into her music. Kathleen Edwards tours with a very talented backing band consisting of a bass player, a drummer, an electric guitar player, and another singer that helps her perform vocal harmonies. The electric guitar player also plays slide guitar in order to give the music a country twang to it. The keyboard player sometimes performs smooth Wurlitzer sounding effects, as well as plays an organ to deepen the sound.
The band has minimal stage theatrics and relies more on the emotion of the presentation to resonate with the audience. Kathleen Edwards sometimes sings the song in a shaky presentation to create an emotional instability that is suppose to be reflected in some of her lyrics. The guitar player will also build up the soundscape of the slide guitar playing by gradually making the guitar sound like its losing control, which enhances the aspect of instability and brings the song to an emotive climax.
Kathleen Edwards has garnered much critical acclaim and a wide fan base due to her clever songwriting abilities. Her music has also appeared in notable films such as Elizabethtown, where her critically acclaimed song, “Back to Me”, was featured. Her setlist is sure to please fans by encompassing most of her material. She is also known to spice up her setlist with some covers, such as Nirvana’s “All Apologies”.

Brilliant gig! Went having never heard any of Margo Price's recordings, purely on the merit I understood her to be be an exciting new artist.

Turns out the hype wasn't wrong. Brilliantly sweet voice and excellent leading lady and show-woman with a superb band. She and her band provided a storming set that I would happily watch all over again

Waited to get a signed CD after the performance and got to chat with her briefly and she was as delightful as as had shone through during the gig, a truly lovely lady!

Highly recommended
