I was saddened to hear the news of Jill Sobules tragic passing recently. She was a Denver native and had shows scheduled for the state this weekend. I recalled that I had seen her live just one time. She opened up for John Doe and the Sadies at the Lion's Lair in back in 2009.
I pulled it up yesterday to give it a listen. The Lair is tiny so sometimes recordings of solo acoustic acts there get drowned out by the bar atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I must have put the mics somewhere really close to the stage and the crowd was so quite and respectful on this night.
A lot of great stories and banter during this and some great performances. She brings her Mom up on stage to help her sing a cover of Nelly's "Hot in Herre". It really sweet and funny. The whole set is a delight. I hope you enjoy it.
