She found herself in a second-hand guitar: Lianne comes to the Bean!

On September 28, a few friends and I went to see the amazing Lianne La Havas in concert at the Royale Boston! If you've never heard of Lianne, now is the time to check her out. She has two heavy hitting albums under her belt, the latest entitled 'Blood'. Lianne's sound, to me, is best described as a fusion of jazz, folk and neo-soul, but it is her vocal range and transition from full-throated singing to falsetto that I love so much. Not only is she a vocalist, but she also plays the guitar and writes all her lyrics. 

Her show was pure and without gimmick. She switched from guitar to guitar as each song progressed and was so appreciative of all the love in the room. We jammed to "Grow" like we were in a rock concert, then stood attentively still as she sang "Lost and Found". Her show is definitely worth the money and I'm so glad I went, even though I had a thesis committee meeting the next day (**insert deer-in-headlights emoticon here**).
