Imogen Heap...

If you haven’t taken the time to hear what this artist is kicking out you need to. She began writing songs at the age of thirteen after her parents separated. She was classically trained in several instruments including cello and clarinet, however she taught herself a lot of what she knows in sequencing, music engineering, sampling and production. Her music contains manipulated sounds of all kinds to create something very unique and moving for her audience. I have heard some say she is the next Tori Amos and I can see the resemblance. The sold out show at the Variety Playhouse was full of energy. I was especially impressed with how mush she spoke to the audience and carried on conversations with them, but when the time came for her to start playing the audience was so respectful of the talent, otherwise they would find themselves getting looped into the song and Imogen would call them out for it. She had a great attitude and presence on stage. This show is one you don’t want to miss, but you may find it hard to get a ticket. Imogen is currently has eighteen shows left on her tour and eleven of those shows are sold out. The New York show was moved to a bigger venue and sold out again. This one is HOT and I have a feeling she has a lot more steam to push out there for us.
