Linda Eder…Live in Concert.

if you’ve never seen linda eder in concert- put on one of her albums, close your eyes, and picture her on stage with a band.  THATS what you’ll see!  Her voice is as clear and perfect as you’d hear thru a bose surround sound.  INCREDIBLE!  Over the years, I’ve probably seen Linda live a dozen times…never once has she sung a bad song.  She not only sang things off her new album “Soundtrack”, but she gave the fans what they expect- those Broadway show stopping numbers from Jekyll and Hyde and Camille Claudelle and her showstopping signature song “Vienna”.

The one thing that I thought was pretty clear, is her comfort singing the country-pop songs that she wrote for her last album, “The Other Side of Me”.  You could really see how she felt at “home” in a way.

And of course made everything personal- introduced the “Eder-ettes” sitting in the front row, congratulating one of them on her recent engagement and dedicated a song to her…Talking about her son, Jake, into a song she sings when she’s on the road missing her boy…all the way to letting the audience in on how her “non-diva” life goes on…(she explained she was washing her car earlier “because it needed it”, came inside to put her soaked sweats in the dryer- to find the Poland Spring man at the door while she stood in her kitchen- wearing only a sweater and a G-String. HA!)

The show was fun, she gave what you’d expect to hear, and so much more!  I went backstage to introduce my friend to her and gave her a little thank you gift.  One would think I would have brought 6 dozen bouquets of lily’s or something fancy schmancy…however, girl likes what she likes and hopefully cracked open one of the Blue Moons after I left to congratulate herself on an amazing night.

Cheers to Linda, to her new album, and a beautiful show.  (why am i holding up my coffee mug waiting for someone to clink it?!)
