The Be Good Tanyas

A couple of weeks ago we were fortunate enough to see the Be Good Tanyas come to town @ the Danforth Music Hall.

It was a rainy night, perfect for some folk music.
The opener was Old Man Luedecke from Nova Scotia, just him and his Banjo. He was quite entertaining and put us in a good mood.

The Tanyas are from BC, they met in a planting trees camp. They are quite special and very talented, but you could tell they were not comfortable being on stage. Clearly the music is important to them, but they would prefer playing in a studio than in front of others.

If you've yet to hear them check out their hit - Littlest Birds. My favorite songs are Lakes of Ponchatrain (which was not performed unfortunately) and Waiting around to Die.
They also make great covers - Prince's When Doves Cry, Oh Susannah and The House of the Rising Sun are on the albums.

Their 3 voices are so different and work so well together it's like nothing else. It was a very good show.
They acknowledged it was a bit moody, but that might be because of the weather.

They inadvertently had a polka dot theme going to their own amusement. They tried to have some fun, but their intensity comes through during the music.
