Most of the time the shows we see are well-known artists from our 70’s and 80’s rock genre. Every once in a while my husband will read about someone in the paper and get intrigued. This is what happened with Tash Sultana.
One Woman Show is the way I describe her because she plays all the instruments for most of her show. She does have a band accompanying her but only for one or two songs. She starts playing an instrument and then sets it on a loop and moves on to another instrument, sets that on a loop and keeps going until she has the whole show in motion. She uses a lot of flashing lights too, reminiscent of ELO. In fact, there was the warning on the screen to let us know about that.
While my photos aren’t great because we were up in the balcony, here’s a review of the show that night where you can see some better ones. My hubby actually got a brief video. It doesn’t really show how much she moves around between the different instruments but you can kind of get the picture.

I think “Jungle” was the song that my husband found on YouTube that made him want to see her in the first place. In the video you can see her stepping on different pedals and then using the keyboard to add more sounds. It was very interesting to watch and she certainly is constantly in motion but not knowing any of the songs, it was kind of hard to get into. It was definitely a new experience. If we saw her again I think I would get closer seats. This was kind of a last minute thing so we had to take what we could get.
What do you think? Ever seen anything like that before?

I like when an artist is versatile and can play various instruments.

I’m with John on this one, I’ll take the Manhattan. I really didn’t care for the music, but I don’t care for some of Tall Cool ☺ne’s music either…. (maybe that’s why we don’t go to concerts) ha ha ha. 
Cheers,

Honestly I wasn’t that fond of it either but once in a while I gotta give the hubby a chance, right? She actually made my eyes hurt with the bobbing around she did.

It really was fascinating to watch her dance around between the instruments but actually her head bobbing was worse on my eyes than the lights!

She really was all over the place. In fact, the lights didn’t bother me as much as her bopping around.

It was okay. I think a lot had to do with the fact that the songs were all new to me.
