She appeared solo, but managed to captivate everyone. Just a few interesting facts for you all... Veda announced at the start of her concert that she had just gotten married twelve days ago. She flashed her ring to my friends and I before the concert. Veda seemed happy and in top form. No odd Veda-hair; perhaps wedded bliss has calmed her hair? Veda also talked about the new cd she will be recording this fall--whose themes/obsessions she said are science and nature--and then went on to play an absolutely beautiful new piece whose lyrics were in part taken from a science report she wrote at the age of six. Veda also said that she will be giving a concert in Vancouver on December 17th with Seattle's Robin Holcomb. This gig, said Veda, will be recorded and form the basis for her next release, which she also mentioned will be mostly her with guitar/piano accompaniment. There were a few technical difficulties at the onset of her set, mostly revolving around her breaking two strings during her first song. Veda played a selection from This is a Picture, and did a stunning acoustic version of "Williamsburg Bridge." Also, a highlight for me was "Born Lucky" and "Thin." Veda also said that her upcoming Spring 2001 mini-west-coast tour will be sans-band. It was a great performance by Veda and served to remind me (and Neile and Tamar) again of the incredible range of Veda's writing and voice. I love hearing Veda and her band, but it's refreshing to hear her perform by herself where she really shines. Also, judging from the new songs Veda played, it's clear that Veda keeps getting better and better. - --Jim (Sorry about these random notes but I'm writing this after only four hours of sleep.)
