As the end of August nears, Em, Janae, and I ventured back to Red Butte. This night was featuring Corinne Bailey Rae and little slice of heaven Nora Jones
. We were pretty excited.
We, as any true fan, arrived early in the heat to wait in line for a good lawn spot in the amphitheatre.Janae lent me her Oprah magazine to read a very disturbing ( if true, which I’m sure it is) article about the Gulf Oil Spill. Those two found it quite funny that I was reading O.
I jest, of course. Corinne came on stage first, setting the tone of the evening perfectly. She was laid back, with an easy going, free flowing voice that whisked you into her world.
I mean, just check out this reggae diddy that she put her own spin on. So freaking creative.
After Corinne’s set, the stage was set for the main act, Nora Jones. I hadn’t a chance to listen to her new album before the show, so it was a real treat to hear her new stuff live for the first time. She is simply amazing.
I just love the red dress.
