Jonell was a last-minute replacement for Gary Burr and his band that night. A record company exec who was sitting next to me asked me, before Jonell came on, whether I'd ever heard her.

And some reponses Greetings all! Just signed up for the list yesterday, just heard Susan Werner at the Lee's Palace shows on Saturday and Sunday, and was immediately hooked, already got a friend a CD as a gift! :) Small introduction is in order I guess, my name is Cameron Ross, I'm 17, I like reading, talking on ICQ/IRC, listning to music, and that sorta stuff. Fav. Bands, Iike Moxy Früvous, Dan Bern, Ben Harper, Ben Folds Five, Rick Fines, Barenaked Ladies, Robert Atyeo, They Might Be Giants, and, of course, Susan Werner, among others :). Well, that's about it, I'll get to responding to posts now :) >I'd like to thank everyone who's been recommending Susan Werner (and >especially to Jeff W for getting me one of her CDs), I finally got to see >her play this weekend (twice!) and was MUCH impressed. She's even more >powerful live than on CD, and I liked the CD (the Live at Tin Angel one) >quite a lot. > >Ah what the heck, might as well do a mini review while I'm posting. I saw >a great show with Tory Cassis, Sarah Slean, Susan Werner, and Moxy Fruvous >yesterday, That was an amazing show, an amazing weekend actually, I managed to get into 2 of the 3 shows, the ones with Susan (I'm only 17, Lee's is 19+). Actually, the fruvous bit of the Saturday show is mp3'd online at http://moxy.dhs.org for those who care :). >which I'm sure will inspire some impassioned jealousy in at >least a few ectophiles here. Forgive my ignorance, but what, is an Ectophile? >Sarah played with just her cellist, the talented Kevin Fox, who is much in >demand these days with ectophilic artists from the Toronto area. Did anyone notice that he looked like Kevin Bacon? > She played a few tortured-heart type songs (at least one of which should > appear on the upcoming CD) and then launched into Me and Jerome and > Universe. I had never heard her before, so didn't know the song names, and she didn't connect with me as much as Susan did, but was still entertaining. >There was an annoying level of talking among the Fruheads near the back >where I was standing, but there was also a huge group of them standing >mesmerized at the front. I would like to take this oppertunity to apologize for my fellow Früheads :) we try to not be that noisy, really :) >Susan came on by herself and played a rocking set, in stark contrast to the >more subdued acoustic set she played at an instore performance I attended >the day before. I'd been looking forward to seeing her since getting her >live CD in the summer and I wasn't disappointed. She brought the house >down with that great hidden track on the _Time Between Trains_ CD. Is that >her own song, does anybody know? It has a very musical theatre kind of >feel, Sondheim or Gershwin-esque I guess. And it's hilarious! God I love that track :), and the set was good, but I liked the set from Saturday better, longer for one :). I am pretty sure it is her own. I went to get a copy of her CD just before Früvous went on (did anyone else notice how fast it was between acts??? That is shocking, moreso if you know Frütime! Considering it was an hour on Friday....), and it was sold out, I know the people who got the last two. Mom went to indigo though, so I'm happy :) >I was ready to leave at that point since I had a ton of papers to mark and >I'd already gotten my fill of Moxy the night before, but a friend let me in >on a little secret that both Sarah and Susan would be invited up on stage >to play with Moxy in the middle of their set. gotten your fill of moxy? is that possible? (sorry, I am a big Frühead :) :) >Sure enough, before too long they called up Sarah and they did a great >version of "Angel" with Sarah doing the lead vox and the moxy guys lending >instrumental support and harmony vocals. Sarah said later on that they >practiced for about 2 seconds before the show. Amazing. Yeah, that was great :) Do you know if they worked together before? Dave and her seemed to be... well.. I don't know, happy I guess, with wierd hand stuff and stuff ;) >Not long after, they called up Susan and they did a great version of >"Summertime" and then a priceless medley of pop songs from the 80's and >90's and including an audience singalong of "It's a Small World". That medley was the highlight of the day for me, I so pray that someone gets it mp3'd, cause I really want to hear it again "What's better then having Susan Werner up on the stage? Susan Werner and the Banjo!" >As we were leaving I ran into Susan and her entourage, and she impressed me >by remembering my name from speaking with her briefly the day before at the >instore performance (we'd chatted about seven string guitars and the >ecto-infamous karaoke bar incident). > >Anyway to sum up Susan bowled me over with her vocal talent and guitar >playing, her stage presence, and friendliness.

Anyway Jian was effusive in >his praise for her, and said he hoped they could set up a tour with her in >the near future. That reminds me of what they were talking about in the Früvous newsgroup, they were talking about how Dave and Susan could go on tour together, that would rock! >Moxy and Susan fans beware... they're both pretty volatile live performers >and when you put them together, they're liable to react quite explosively! >The Demolition tour may be coming soon to a venue near you...
