Last night I saw one of the best live performances that I have ever seen.

I saw Vienna Teng in a small venue (about 120 or so people) in Dallas. I was on the front row right in front of her, maybe 12 feet away. She is unbelievably good!

See a video here:

Another good thing that made the evening fun was some really good pizza with really good friends before the show. We then walked a block or two over to the show.

Those good buddy's were Art, Ken, Gary (Gary Dodd), Mark, Roy, and Cesar. Also present was Scott Clark and his wife and lovely daughter. Art and Ken were on the front row too. Gary, Scott, his wife and daughter were right behind me. There wasn't a bad seat in the house be we really had great seats. We had a blast!

If you get a chance to go see this girl, don't miss it. I also highly recommend her CD's.

I posted on this in the "Live Shows you've Seen Lately" thread...it was really incredible. Danny summed it up perfectly, a great evening.

Sounds like a great show. Looks like she's coming my way in May. Last April (before we moved down here) it looks like she was in the small venue (~100 people) that's within walking distance of our place. That would have been a good one to catch. Too bad she's coming to a larger venue (~750) in May.

I saw her in Atlanta maybe 3 years ago, she was awesome

I'm jealous. Not only did you get to see a great live performance but you didn't have to drive to work on a sheet of ice this morning.

Which CD's would you recommend?

Danny Richie · « **Reply #13 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 03:46 pm »

She has three albums out and a new one on the way. They are all really good, but waking hour has been my favorite.

Yep, agree with Danny...start with Waking Hour and then Warm Strangers....that said, the songs she played Saturday from her new one (out 4/7) were terrific as well....

According to her tour schedule she'll be at Yoshi's in Oakland Ca. late April. I'll be there. Listened to exerts from her CD's. Sounds pretty good. Always like to check new artists on there way up. Rough business. Hope she and all the other struggling artists make the big time.

Cheers
Charlie

I have all 3 Vienna Teng albums (looking forward to her 4th) and they all have so much from her to offer, can't go wrong with any of them Max. I really like her 3rd album thou, Dreaming Through the Noise (2006). It's laidback music simply puts me in my happy place. aa

Cheers,
Robin

I saw her a couple of years back in front row as well. She is really good.

I will look for her new CD -- I already have the others.
