Natasha Bedingfield
 Showbox at the Market
June 26, 2011

Less is More Tour

Review  by Art Rusche

 

Natasha Bedingfield is a member of the new British Girl Invasion. Coming on the scene in 2004 she won a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for "Unwritten". In 2008 she had a hit Pocketful of Sunshine, which was recently featured in Emma Stone's movie Easy A. When I heard she was coming to the Showbox at the Market, I was one of the first to get tickets. Her new album Strip Me is real good! Lots of great catchy tunes!

    It was a Sunday evening concert, doors were to open at 6:30 so two hours before, Cindra and I were in the Green Room and we got our #1 entry cards from the bartender 9see picture at right)!

   I was getting the pre-concert jitters real bad.  I couldn't eat and drink. I had to take a 20 minute break and get fresh air and walked through downtown before we were let in! When the doors opened from the Green Room we scooted to the very front of the stage.... my jitters finally went away. This concert attending is becoming an addiction!  I need intervention.

  The first performer was Andy Grammer fronting a three piece band out of LA. He had lots of energy and stage presence. His songs were light, upbeat and he had a good time singing! I loved his performance!

      Kate Voegel singer-songwriter, musician, and actress on One Tree Hill opened the second card. She had a polished act but I didn't think she had the complete stage presence as Andy did before her. She went through her set without too much excitement..... humm?

  The stage of the Showbox at the Market was cleared of all the gear of the previous bands which opened a large area for Natasha to use. She was right in front of us at center stage and sounded great! Her setlist (see the list on the left) included several songs from her great new album Strip Me.  Natasha had great stage presence, interacting with the crowd often and playing both sides of the stage and of course being FSB was great!!!

   I frequently was pointing at her with the beat, getting her to point at me while taking this picture on the left with the other hand!!  I then started waving the peace sign with the beat and then waving the peace sign forward into a two finger point toward her.

  She actually commented to me after a song, "What does that mean?" All I could do say was "I love you???".  Oh Boy how corny!

  That's what I get for being Front Stage Baby!!
 
   We had a great time and once again the thrill of FSB takes it to a whole new level of experience!! Natasha sounded very good, her band was top notch and she connected with the audience! Her setlist covered most of her hits and she did no encore.
