John Vanderslice @ The Triple Door 4/7/07
Saturday evening found Shawn and I at The Triple Door for an evening of music, food and fun with John Vanderslice and the extremely talented St Vincent. JV was super nice and sweet as always. He is by far one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He went out of his way to make sure that Shawn would be able to get into the venue with his camera and spent a lot of time talking with his fans before the show.
Annie Clark aka St Vincent opened the show with a very intriguing set. I honestly didn't know that much about her before we went to the show so I wasn't really expecting much. She ended up sounding like a mix between the girl from Morcheeba and Tori Amos and was extremely talented and very intriguing. She ended up playing both guitar and piano while also singing and stomping on pedals.
Then John Vanderslice came on with his drummer/synth guy and played a wonderful set. He played some new songs that will be on his upcoming album out in August as well as a number of old ones. He had one guy, Brandon, come up on stage and sing a song and then had quite a number of people come up to sing Me & My 424 while Annie played the piano. It was a great show filled with great music, good people and plenty of laughs.
JV should be headed back this way in the fall with a full band, in support of his new album. I can't wait.
