WOODLAND HILLS, CALIF.—Good times. Greetings from warm southern California! Last night, Kesha, Susan, and I went to see David Garza (note to self: it’s “dah-veed” a la español) at Largo. Goodness. What an amazing performer — such an agile voice and awesome guitar and piano skills. And then Jon Brion came on, and they played a whole bunch of original songs and standards too. It’s great to see two great musicians jam and improvise together and have so much fun.
Afterwards, as we were leaving the club — the girls can attest to this — David chased us down (okay, fine, more like, stopped us at the door) and thanked us for coming to the show. [cue girlish giggle] Charmed and disarmed by his handsome, lithe presence, I stammered out a compliment. All things considered, a wonderful night. He’s definitely on my musical radar now.
On the agenda tonight: meeting up with more peeps, and seeing Martha Wainwright at the Viper Room. Yay!
