Teng Takes BK By Storm (Literally)

Matt Hanks and I had the pleasure of checking out our client Vienna Teng at Park Slope's Union Hall last night. Her performance was fantastic! It was the first time I had seen her play solo (without strings) - just her and the piano. It may have been pouring rain outside but that didn't keep the fans away. Boy, did she have the crowd mesmerized. She played songs from her new album 'Dreaming Through the Noise' (which is out now on Zoe/Rounder) and songs from her past two albums and ended the set with a chilling interpretation of a Chinese folk song. I'll be catching Vienna again at the Living Room on Monday, Oct 16. Check out this fan footage from Vienna's show in her hometown of San Francisco this summer

And,I think I may have found my new favorite Brooklyn venue in Union Hall. Where else can you go see live music, play bocce ball and eat deep fried saga blue cheese balls coated in apple cinnamon cheerios? It really is a beautiful space and interesting set-up.
