Music to my ears

Just got back from Sista Otis at El Mercado on South 1st St. Her playing can best be described as "rousing". I was quite taken with her right from the beginning, when all she was doing was strumming one chord really fast and talking to the crowd. Somehow she managed to make it feel urgent, like something really exciting was going on.

And that woman sang and played loud. For a sit down restaurant, they turned the amps way up. She sounded great and had a really sunny disposition. It was a pleasure to meet her after her set, thanks to Radio Mike. I never get over what a great town for live music this is.
