Tu Tu

Last night was Chris Garneau live at Joe's Pub in NYC.  We got there and all the tables were already reserved, so we had to stand in the back.

Around 7:00 Olafur Arnalds came on.  He finished his first song at 7:15.  There were no words.  I am all about beautiful music, but 15 minutes of a piano and some instruments as ONE song, I could have done without that.  After 45 minutes (I think he played 4 songs.) he left and Chris got on the stage.  He started off with a new very sad song that he played on an accordion-esque instrument.  It was very good.

He ended up playing a very short set because another band was scheduled to perform basically RIGHT after him.  Some songs included "Relief", "Baby's Romance" and "In the Afternoon", one of his new songs.  He had a cover section too and did "Crazy" and "Walking After Midnight" by Patsy Cline.  

After the show, my friend and I stuck around to meet him.  I got a picture with him, told him how beautiful he sang, got a t-shirt, and was on my way.  This was a great concert night.

(we were far away so I have no good pictures of him.  Please view this video of him made by balancing the camera on my friend's head):
