Norah Jones in Atlanta
By Charlie. Filed in Music, North America, Travel |
Georgia is a great place to see concerts. Its rich musical history acts as a not-so-silent witness to the spectacular musical present, and it’s possible to see multiple forms working at once. There are influences here that run very deep, and it’s no wonder that so many interesting and talented artists come out of Georgia. The blues has been a long presence here, as well as jazz, Georgia being part of that essential cultural framework that gave birth to these forms. It’s also a great place for alternative rock, hiphop, r&b, and a number of other exciting musical forms.
All of this is a great prelude for the upcoming event, where all the hotels should be brimming over with Norah Jones fans. She’s coming to Atlanta this summer, and the show promises to be a very exciting evening of musical virtuosity. It’s been a couple of years since she’s had a big world tour, and it’s also been awhile since she’s had a new album, and with the Fall just released, it’s high time to get the songs in your blood, so you can hum along during the show, or politely mouth the words.
Her career has been a fast rise to where it is right now, which is pretty much right up there on top of the world. Born in Brooklyn in 1979, with Ravi Shankar as her father, she had a musical upbringing that few people in the world can lay claim to. She has worked with a stunning number of very influential people, such as Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Atlanta’s own OutKast, and Will Sheff, on a number of side projects. It seems as though she’s always working, creating new sounds and songs, and also giving time to help with charity causes. Her voice is a haunting thing on disc, and it’s an impossible thing to behold in a live setting. This is a hot ticket.
