Thursday night (March 14), Speakeazie hosted a night of female-forward music that proves “female artists” isn’t a genre. Each band had its own take on music. ANd it was great to get a chance to check out Zhora Darling, the new Res Stag. It’s a great location with the venue in the back.
Speakeazie brought her dreamy synth-pop. Photographing the show, I found that Speakeazie takes amazing black and white pictures while her music presents a full color range of emotions. It’s beguiling and seeing her on stage performing adds a rich layer to her music.
The new single, Jamie, You’re No Good for Me, is a delight and before St Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to release it because it is a love song to Jameson whiskey. And it’s a great dance song!
Juniper Fly has a sultry, dreamy sound. There are hints of Dolores O’Riordan in the vocals.
Bloodline has a poppier sound with an interesting story. The band includes three siblings with Brazilian heritage that plays heavily in the music.
Said Kelley brought her fun alternative-folk songs about real live moments in an amazing yellow dress. (Show singing with Rachel Kurtz.)
Sadly I missed Cindy Lawson but I know she always bring a great garage sound.
