Melody Gardot coming to Philly

Thanks a ton Devilboy. I can get to Philly in 5 1/2 hours by car. That's a Saturday too. You're a saint to post this.

You are my new God devilboy. I was able to get tickets. I was just in Philly last week for work. I'm going to make reservations for an early dinner and spend the night after the show. Thanks again.

Ps. This should probably be posted under music but I'm glad it wasn't because there were few tickets left.

Nonoise. I juts read some of your replies on the music forum. Please get the Maria Rita. I will buy it from you if it doesn't make you crumble. I'm serious.

Nonoise. Late September is a beautiful time for a trip to Philadelphia. You can spend a few days and see the sights. Schedule a tour of the McIntosh factory which is a few hours away.

Nonoise. That's fantastic news. I didn't realize she was touring that extensively in the U.S. I know her European leg has ended. I truly appreciate the ops post about this.

On a different note I have tickets to see Madonna in Cleveland in November. My wife and I have mixed feelings about this show. Neither of us has ever been to a pop concert and we figured why not go see her. The tickets were a fortune and quite honestly I wish I had known about Melody touring the U.S. before I ordered the Madonna tickets because I may have tried to pull off two Melody shows.

Trelja. Are you thinking Philly or L.A.? I'm doing the Philly show and staying at a hotel so dinner will be in the plans. I have to research the venue yet to figure our where I'm staying and then extensive research on restaurants. We're big foodies, coffee lover's and also enjoy cocktails. We would love to share our time with any music lover's.

I know many will not share my opinion, but I've come to think her new one is her best. I absolutely love Brazilian music so I listen to a lot of Anthony Carlos Jobim , Milton Nascimemto, Ellis Regina etc. I understand why Melody would go this route because its beautiful music. She also lives in France and the French have an infatuation with South America. Brazilian Portuguese is also a romance language and that also feeds her artistry. Any Melody fan would of course coo over the song So Long. It almost brings me to tears every time I play it. Same goes for So we meet again my heartache. Those two songs alone are worth the price of admission. Then Lisboa, being her first song to ever be sung in Portuguese is just absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad she did this work. So far she's captured my interest and shows no sign of slowing down. I hope that anyone who poo poos this Lp keeps it close by and gives it
another chance.

Nonoise, I agree that not understanding the language turns the voice into a beautiful instrument. If you want to check out a absolutely amazing female Brazilian artist, pick up Maria Rita 's new one called ELO. She's Melody Gardot good and surrounds herself with the best of talent. The conversation has come up in our home whether or not we would travel to Brazil to see her. Her family has a very rich musical history.

Devilboy. Ill check out R2L. At least for a cocktail. Sounds like a great area in general.
