Am annoyed that I'll be out of town when Eilen Jewell plays the Tuning Fork in AKL on Sat 2 June in 2 weeks.

Here's a taste....



And when she last played here in 2016...



We get some great Americana artists here downunder.

How was the show?

She was wonderful - everything about her set was delicate, but not in a flimsy way at all. Every nuance, every word, every intention and every string was clear as a bell. Her singing is so effortless. A superb night!

Also Jerry Miller, her long-time guitarist, a respected solo artist, a delicious aural treat himself.
(As per youtube videos above.)

Dom - how did your own opening set go?

Very well thanks Owen, although I was disappointed to be asked to play solo "or one other" by the venue. An unfair fight!
