Sonya Kitchell played an intimate show at the ever classy Varsity Theater. Admittedly, it's one of the best looking venues in Minneapolis, and I just love all the old fashion theater feel to the place. I felt more comfortable at this place, than say that sold-out Cold War Kids show a few days ago.
She has a full backing band, including Brad Barr (who warmed up the crowd with his own set of songs, using an interesting technique of making his acoustic guitar sounds electric). The bassist is producer Malcolm Burn and I think that the drummer is actually Brad's brother, Andrew Barr.
Some of the highlight of the show was when Brad played around on the (working) prop piano during a song and towards the end of the set, there was a couple that joined them on stage (sitting on a couch).
The audience seem to really get into "Here To There" with clapping (and also note it's not on the Set List). My favorite performance was the more upbeat "Fire", which sounds fantastic live. She really gets into it shouting 'fire' as she falls back from the mic.
I also really enjoyed the cover of "You Belong To Me". Their version is more playful and sounds like a dialogue between Kitchell and Brad.
Catch her on the rest of her tour - where she's doing at least four Californian dates. Her latest album, This Storm, came out on Decca Records in early September and available at most retail location.
