Interlude

September 18
Melissa Greener

I am cheating here. Melissa Greener did not play The Blue Plate Special, she played a house concert but she is a Blue Plate veteran and it's my show here so...

A Melissa Greener performance is greater than the sum of its parts, and what parts.
From the spider dancing her fretboard that is her left hand to the curling strand over her right eye, to the powerful words coming from enthralling lips, to the voice that is as loud or soft as she needs it to be; the pieces meld into beauty. And when her voice stretches, I have to remind myself to breathe.

SET LIST (as well as I can recall)

Bullets To Bite
Same Big Sky
Fancy Free
Wishes
On My Way Back Home
Tack And Jibe
Ballad of the Snow Leopard and the Tanqueray Cowboy (David Rodriguez)
Cover of a Jonathan Byrd song I don't remember the name of.

I think Melissa enjoys a severe case of wanderlust. A born troubador, she's lived in Detroit, Canada, San Francisco, Nashville, Austin, New York, and toured all points in between. Now she's burning to leave New York. When the city that's a musical fit for her (Austin) and the city that is musically good for her (New York City) can't hold her, I don't see her as the settling down sort. Melissa, feel free to give Knoxville a shot next.
