Julie Doiron: Tiny Desk Concert

If you see Canadian singer-songwriter Julie Doiron perform live, you'll hear a good deal of distorted guitars and intense drumming. Well, at least when she's not performing at the NPR Music offices. It took her a few takes, but we wound up with a bare, stark and memorable set at the Tiny Desk. More at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92071316.

I walked through the forest with a man recently who told me about being a director in theater for over twenty years. He said that when people perform they are taking in the parameters of their role and filtering it through their own lives, the expression of which we see onstage. In the best instances, it is not 'acting' or 'fakery' but rather an exhalation of lived experience. This video reminded me of that beautiful walk in the woods."

I love the mess ups in this video. Makes her seem so human and real. Can't wait to see her and Herman Dune in Ottawa on the 26th! Both are my favorite artist/bands so its sort of a dream concert for me. Good to see a New Brunswick gal on the music scene too, still waiting for the coincidence of seeing her when I go home and around and NB.
