Juana Molina

After falling in love with Juana Molina's music listening exclusively to her studio albums, I went into the show thinking, "This is gonna go down one of two ways... it'll either be amazing, or terrible... there'll be no in-between." I'm thrilled to report that she truly was AMAZING live. It was one of the best shows I've seen in a while, and after the 1st encore (which is more or less a given), the crowd wouldn't let her get off the stage and demanded a 2nd, and she obliged. The energy in the room was electric and you could tell she was thrilled, perhaps even overwhelmed. Can not wait until she comes around again, and you can be sure I'll be bringing many friends along, whether they think they'll like it or not.

Juana Molina is fantastic. She's wryly humorous yet generous as an artist. Her connection with the audience is genuine - even blowing a kiss for my video of the last song. She mixes uncertainty with rhythm to make her music persist poignantly in your mind for many days. Indeed, the two musicians who accompanied her performed seamlessly. It was my first time at the venue which is very good. It is small enough to be intimate and it has three bar areas and a back room. Service was great.

Unique, deep and fun... Can't beat the intimacy of Brighton Music Hall!
