My New Musical Obsession…

So a few months ago I sat down to watch my favorite Late Night show with Conan O'Brian and the musical guest was Australian singer/songwriter Missy Higgins. I have never cared for any of the upcoming artists making their debuts on the Late Night shows before, but couldn't help falling in love with her and her music. I quickly bought her new album and found her on Myspace. As soon as I found out that she was going to be playing in Salt Lake and as soon as tickets went on sale I bought them.

So last Tuesday we traveled down to SLC to send Misty home to Virginia and spent the following day with the 3Balls before going to the show that night. The opener was a guy by the name of Joshua Radin who specializes in Whisper Rock. I really enjoyed his music, but each song sounded the same and both Tiffiney and I were getting tired of standing while listening to such calming music. Many of the songs that Missy sings are also very quiet so I expected the rest of the night to be pretty low key. I was excited when she finally took the stage because it was much more upbeat than what I had anticipated.

Joshua Radin is a pretty popular artist and I wish I would have taken a picture with him because he was so accessible and we were pretty sure that the majority of the people present were there to see him, but my main event was Missy Higgins. Tiffiney was in a hurry at midnight to get home so I didn't have the luck of meeting her, but I did end up getting her guitar pick after the show. Anyway check out the clips below for some of my favorite songs performed. I didn't get many of the songs in full recorded so these are taken from earlier shows and in better sound quality.
