Oh Jack White… how I still love you. My sister and I saw Jack on Tuesday and he did not disappoint! He had an amazing set backed up by a band consisting entirely of women musicians in pale blue dresses. It kind of looked like a 1970 style prom, in the most bad-ass, Jack White way possible. Not only did he kill it first time around, but he had a little surprise up his sleeve and opened the second stage for his encore with a whole new band. Very awesome. But what I was most excited about was being introduced to the… ALABAMA SHAKES. I have decided the singer chick is Janis Joplin reincarnated in the body of a curvy, afro rocking black woman. Seriously, I have not seen any women resemble Janis Joplin’s type of performing, until the Alabama Shakes, and it was incredible. I am totally hooked and plan on following these guys around for a while. This concert couldn’t even be slight ruined by the drunken idiot head banging in front of us, or the creepy older guy insisting on showing us his nipple ring. Guy, you’re like 40, going grey, and showing off your nipple ring (singular: he couldn’t even manage to do both) and your dumb ass tattoos of fish… sorry, but not interested.
Anyways, it was a really good concert to see to get me feeling motivated for my show. I have had several good reviews this week and 2 good voice lessons with Ms. Candance Goetz.
