Lovers and 🥁

Occasionally, I enjoy live music. Typically, a small venue. Not sure why it always seems to happen like that. I suppose it is two reasons:

the musicians I want to go see don't command large arenas

I don't particularly like big crowds (which you find at big arenas)

I think the last time I saw a big show could have been David Bowie, Tina Turner or the B-52s. I do know that I wore an original Emilio Pucci that was my mother's from 1965-66 (her first haute couture dress). I'll tell you about The Dress another time. 

Anyway, I mostly go and see Michelle Malone (I'm a huge fan girl) at Eddie's Attic a few times a year. And since Covid, I've been cautious to start heading to places where there are lots of unknown people. 

Well, I decided I needed to start getting out more and when I saw Sophie B. Hawkins playing at Eddie's, I bought tickets. 

To be honest, I really didn't know much about her recent work. I do remember this hit from the 90s since I had purchased the album.

Ok, so off I go with little to no idea what to expect. 

To say that she is eccentric would be a huge understand. She did put on a good show and she has got an amazing head of hair.

While Sophie was good, the real start of the show was Katie Marie. Danyale and I were smitten and totally fan-girling over this badass drummer. We both had our eyes glued to Katie Marie and drooling over her drumsticks. 

We even made a point of speaking to her after the show to tell her how much we loved watching her perform. You can follow her on Instagram here and you can be sure I'm going to see her if she ever comes back to Atlanta.
