Review: Alanis Morrisette and Jason Mraz
"Marking a passage of time isn't something we typically do for ourselves but I highly recommend it" -Alanis Morrisette
The historic Ryman Auditorium played watched as Alanis Morrisette performed her acoustic Jagged Little Pill tour. From the acapella opening of "Your House" to the second encore, she wove in and out of her great songs from Jagged Little Pill, and allowed you to see that while her songs are filled with her own anger, she uses music to deal with her life. The self-professed non-confrontationalist finds her arguments in songs and finds her strength in her powerful vocals.
It seems like I have known her songs my whole life, so it is great to go see them performed live. The first lady of angst is great on stage and explains her songs well. It was a very mixed crowd of people who like her. Its great when an artist draws so many different kinds of people and they come together around these amazing songs that she wrote ten years ago.
Jason Mraz was a great opening act for this show, his ability to draw the crowd in and make you feel like you know this guy and he is just in your living room playing songs for you is very endearing. It also helps that he sings effortlessly and his wit is quick in and out of his songs.
If you liked Jagged Little Pill then, its better now!
Favorite song of the night: Hands Clean - The story behind it makes the song alot more interesting.
