This interesting lady was supporting Ray LaMontagne this evening... very interesting sound... somewhere across between Feist and Suzanna Vega if you can imagine that... her myspace claims one of her influences is Mary Poppins, sounds good to me!!!
check her out at http://www.myspace.com/leonanaess
Actually listening now, she had a greater impact live, but made enough of an impact for me to go search anyway I guess. :)
LOL her myspace has this story of her first tour in Ireland....
getting arrested in Ireland
so the tour has started with ray, and so far so good. just played cork and the audience was so quiet i almost cried. thank fucking god. my music seems to get quieter and quieter, and i just can't handle any noise when i play anymore. Dublin was good, but not like tonight in cork. what i can tell you, is that i caught a cold on my way to Ireland, and after the show last night i had to escape to bed, missing most of Ray's set. I jumped into bed to try to kick the sick i had in my body and head. at midnight a party started next door. students having a laugh i guess after exams. i was that grumpy sick person calling up the front desk about the terrible noise. after 2 hours of this insane racket , i told the front desk that i was going to call the
police. i guess they did in the end, cause little did i know that my only band mate, Scott, had joined the party next door, and when the police arrived he got arrested with the rest of the collage gang.
basically, to cut a long story short, i got my drummer arrested. oh well, its early days, what will happen next. right before we got on stage tonight the nice woman that works in the opera house in cork said that the audience never come in for the opener, and that it was really frustrating. well i almost wanted to shot myself then and there. why bother right? after Scott being arrested wearing his hangover like a cross, and me not getting any sleep, still sick and about to walk on the a stage with an audience of 5. well she was wrong, thank god. it was great and it was my favorite show so far. lets see what tomorrow brings.
