Featured Review
While this sounds like an inventive italian dish, or possibly a drink you might see at a creative cocktail lounge, it is actually a different type of refreshment that is equally smooth, playful and definitely intoxicating. On a subtle summer Sunday night near Wrigley, an old soul was again reborn in the mind and body of a 20-something crooner from Scotland. Paolo Nutini does not look like he sounds, does not sound like you would think he should, but he still makes you believe you can be forward-looking while being reflective. You feel as if he has both lived and died with the creation of every song and the telling of every story. He shares pieces of him in every track from beginning to end. Unlike most performers, he has no issue playing his biggest hit first. You can sense that he believes the connection he establishes with all of his songs and the audience, is stronger than the strand that most listeners are familiar with him sewing. He tailors his show to promote the strengths of each of the members of his band as well as to his own instrumentation, both guitar and vocal. He is soulful, charming, aware and confused. He was commanding, compassionate, resolute, and vulnerable. He shows that there is hope, if you're willing to take the time to look for it. I did, and I found some at the Vic Theatre Sunday night.

It was an amazing concert, despite the fact their were couples having mad make-out sessions in front of us;)
Other than that, the performance was great, the non-lip locking people super fun, I had a great time.

Paolo Nutini was amazing! If you think his music is great, it's even better live! He and his band, the Vipers, were very passionate about the music they were playing and it really showed. Also, Paolo gave autographs and took pictures with everyone who stayed afterwards! :)
