Bria definitely knows how to lay on the showbiz razzle-dazzle. If you enjoy that sort of thing, she's your girl!

I enjoyed the overall arc of the setlist: heavy on slow blues in several different forms. Bet that people would have danced if she asked them to: a few of the tunes were very groovy.

Most of the covers were played with at least two or three interesting twists: think getting lemons when you expected limes. I applaud the notion that good tunes can be manifested many different ways. The show was quite satisfying: I'll be back!
