[Anya Marina]   Venue: East Village

 I don't have many nice things to say about this artist, so I'll do my best to keep it short.

Marina was on stage with a guitar and she sang some songs. Some songs were fast, some slow, all were boring.  I ended up wandering to the neighboring stage after her fourth attempt to entertain.

During the seven minutes I chose to watch her, I happened to stumble across some wisdom.

1.) Smiling a lot does not make up for one's lack of stage presence.

2.) Even if talented, an artist must always strive to be creative. One without the other is a broken present.

3.)  The singer/songwriter vibe women guitarists are constantly trying to redo is so over. As of now, the feminist/hippie image is over and artists would be more respected if they acted like it was the 21st century.

In sum, I'm not a fan.
