Kitty's Back, Impish Edwards Horns In

Kathleen Edwards was just riveting with her band last night at a packed Irving Plaza...if you've ever seen her, you know she commands the stage. Her set was brilliantly-paced, hot-rockers mixed with slower songs from her new album Asking For Flowers, both with band and solo. It seemed inevitable that the night would lead to a wall of sound crescendo, and it did with the final encore Back to Me, during which the crowd sang along...according to Edwards, jubilantly, a first.

After the set, I ran into Sean Coakley of radio promotion company Songlines. I run see him often at our clients' shows...he must be involved with half of our roster, we're very simpatico. (See Kathleen, with her patented mischevious good fun, sneakin' into the shot!)
