I was hopeful that with Erin McKeown coming to the Beachland, that she’d have a new album coming soon. It doesn’t seem that way - but I’ve seen Erin several times - and every time has been a treat. Opening was Yes Lisa and Maryleigh Roonan. It was a night of ladies with electric guitars!
I was captivated by Maryleigh Roonan. She really had this effortless performance, with a strong distinctive voice, like the electric guitar she played. I would gleefully describe her as having the voice of Gillian Welch with the soul of Bonnie Raitt.
Erin McKeown didn’t disappoint yet again. It was a minimal show, with only her, a guitar and a piano. Her quirky, folky (almost Ani-like) show was refreshing and intimate. Now we wait for that next album.
