Liz Larin at SXSW

Liz Larin @ Pecan St. Ale House. Fri-3/14
If you missed the Liz Larin showcase at the Ale House (see below) you missed an opportunity of a lifetime. This woman possesses tons of talent in every way. From the opening down beat to the final chord this woman had command of the stage, her six sting and everyones attention. Larin possesses a stage presence that captivates and mesmerizes. She also looks great. Each song was delivered with a passion that made time disappear. The one hour set seemed to last only a few minutes. What was great about the performance was the way it relied on Larin's ability to deliver. And she did deliver. Why this fantastic talent was "previously on Atlantic Records" only illustrates the stupidity that major record labels have. Larin was selling her CD's as fast as they could be pulled from the supply sack. The CD does sound great but does not even come close to giving the same sense of exhiliration as the "LIVE SHOW". It amazes me when mediocre talent, that relies on someone to write the words for a song, some one to write and orchestrate the music and then out of the blue, wins 5 Grammys. Then there are artists that do it all. Write the music, the words and provides the passion that comes from within. Yes, it takes talent to interpret someone elses music but that should be a Grammy for interpretation. Recommendation: CHECK EM OUT. Then buy the CD.
