Lalah Hathaway

I've had the great pleasure and fortune to be able to see Lalah perform twice. Her voice so deep, so rich, so soulful. Her commanding presence, true appreciation of fellow musicians, and uncompromising charm and stage presence make hers a performance to be seen as many times as is physically possible. I first saw her as the opening act for Mint Condition in Los Angeles and later as her own stand along act. She was amazing!!! It was also nice to see her mother present, willing to talk with fans, and selling all things Lalah at makeshift concession stands at both venues. Although I no longer live in the Los Angeles area, make bet on the fact that I intend to see Lalah anytime she performs in or near my new hometown of Portland, Oregon.
