My girlfriend is a fan of Missy's and wanted to go to this show. So, I decided to listen to her album (On a clear night) a couple times before the gig. It's good. I felt as if she has a similar vocal to one of our own San Diego artists: Tristan Prettyman. Several songs made me feel that way, but the one that sealed the deal was track 11 (Forgive me). When I heard the song I immediately thought of Tristan's demo which has four songs on it. It was recorded at home and it's very raw and emotional. (Forgive me) has that vibe.
Missy put on a great show with funny banter in between the songs. You know how certain groups of people have a stereotype? For example, the French are considered rude. Well, I think the stereotype that applies to Australians is good natured with a great sense of humor. Missy certainly fit that bill. The songs that highlighted the performance for me were Warm Whispers, Run So Fast (which was a song she wrote for a movie), Secret, and Where I Stood. A few of those songs tug on the heart strings especially the way she delivered them live. Peachy was good too. Check her out, you won't be disappointed.
