Although we both enjoy listening to our Nanci Griffith CDs neither of us had seen Nanci Griffith in concert, so we'd been looking forward for some time to a night out at the Sage. The evening got underway prompt at 19:30 with the support act - singer/songwriter Edwina Hayes. She's making quite a name for herself...someone to definitely watch out for.
There was a short break and then it was time for Nanci Griffith. She had two members of the Blue Moon Orchestra with her, a guitarist and drummer/percussionist, and began with the John Prine song, 'Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness'. Before too long she did 'Love At The Five And Dime' (a song oh hers that's not only in our own repertoire but also on our 'Best Friends' CD).
There were lots of good songs, and Nanci and the boys performed in a very laid back and relaxed style, enhanced by the good work done by the soundman who ensured clarity at a comfortable volume. We can't remember all the titles of the songs, but it was a smashing evening and we had a great time. The evening just seemed to whizz by.
