A few months ago, I saw that Samara Joy was coming to the bush capital. I said to Tress I’d like to go and she said yeah sure (or something like that), so I jumped on the tix site and got us a couple of tickets.

Last night, we went to The Playhouse at the Canberra Theatre Centre to see her. We were treated to an evening of a gorgeous, rich and melodious voice, doing vocal acrobatics with amazing skills. Accompanying her was a band on the grand piano (probably a Steinway), 4 horn players (a trombone, a trumpet and a couple of sax), a double bass guy (who showed the most fun demeanour) and the drummer, whose dexterity belies the skills he obviously possesses in spades.

What a treat, and I hope we get to see her again… some time…
