This past Friday, I had the extreme pleasure of being one of the members of a sold-out crowd at Smith College. Gracing us with her presence was Feist and special guest Ingrid Michaelson.
Ingrid Michaelson, who came out specifically for this show, brought along an acoustic guitar player and a bass player to accompany her sassy persona to keep the crowd alive amidst her mellow set list. Her voice soared above the rafters as she sang about lost love, newfound romance, and maintaining a healthy relationship a la Rogaine.
She was absolutely hysterical. Joe Stahl and I managed to score a picture with her too!
Feist. The woman can do no wrong as far as I am concerned. She opened her set behind a white tarp-like screen, using a looping pedal to create blissful harmonies and haunting melodies.
It was a sit-down-stand-up deal, as people went crazy during more upbeat tunes including the popularized Apple commerical anthem "1234" and the beloved "Sealion," and swayed side-to-side in their seats for "The Water" and "Let it Die."
She even had a shadow mistress. What is this you ask? It is a rather increidble art form, actually. Picture a giant overhead with various images gradually being projected onto the wall, creating a masterpiece by a song's culmination. No explanation can do it justice.
You will have to check it out for yourself when Feist returns with an extra dose of crazy antics and a near-perfect performance this summer at Boston's Bank of America Pavillion.

I am so sad I didn't get a photo with her. Backstage and everything.
