If Neil Young and Lucinda Williams had a kid, it would be Kathleen Edwards. Of course, the kid would have to develop the edginess that can only come with touring in a Chevy Suburban for a year. There's absolutely no pretentiousness in her music or her show. Every song is a story, and not all of them are happy ones. But they're all masterfully told, and Edwards holds nothing back in the telling. She throws straight from the shoulder, and it's a knockout every time. She's fierce, but not at the expense of being closed off -- something that was enhanced by seeing her in a small venue. She engages with the audience, makes them part of the performance, and doesn't insult their intelligence.

There's an honesty in Edwards' music and in her performance that if you don't love it, you may be intimidated by it. But you won't fail to respect it.

Even if she is a Leafs fan. ;-)

Such a terrific show. Was just Kathleen with Jim Bryson and Gord Tough, each on guitar, and Jim handled keyboard now and then. Sera Cahoone joined for percussion on Back to Me and Change the Sheets. Last song Sidecar they performed off-mic at the front edge of the stage. Kathleen Edwards is so rocking great, people. You really should totally love her.

We love Kathleen and have been following her when she comes to the Birchmere. We couldn't help but pick up on her extreme sadness this time. Even her band mates didn't seem too happy to be there. We will see her again, but hope she is more upbeat next time.

First time seeing Edwards live, and was not disappointed. Flawless musicality and vocals of both her and her band members with wonderfully emotive performances. Show tastefully peppered with hilarious stories and sassy banter with crowd members. Fantastic!

Show was great! I'm a new K. Edwards fan and so this was first live view. She and the boys put on a solid show. Beautiful voice, haunting songs.

And she talks it up on all sorts of subjects with the crowd. Don't let Kathleen's "Ann of Green Gables" appearance fool you, she knows how to work a crowd. Lots of fun.

Oh, and other than parking challenges at BMH,the venue is a new favorite for me!

Kathleen Edwards was good. She was personal and intimate. She lost the audience at the end. It was a little tough at Webster Hall with the "80's" prom going on...You could hear the music that was playing from the other room. Disappointing.

Perhaps it was the Senators loss just before the show that seemed to dim the group’s enthusiasm (minus her bounding gleefully onto the stage at the opening) from many previous shows of hers that I’ve seen (including a raucous good time at the Beachcomber in Wellfleet, MA a while back), but the show went on, the crowd loved her and gave her space to rail and reveal. Though at times during the show, she seemed preoccupied with some personal issues that have been bothering her (for some time, it would seem), Kathleen and band put on another excellent show in support of her equally excellent Voyageur album. From what she has described as some gruelling touring that has caused her vocal concern, I'm glad she decided to keep the Boston show on the books after having to postpone some others. I wasn't hearing the "problems" she was describing with her voice as I thought she sounded strong and confident from the outset, though she may have convinced herself that her voice was faltering as the show progressed, as I noticed some minor vocal hiccups. But that's rock and roll (and could be allergies - I've had an oyster in my throat for a couple of weeks) and she still killed everything she sang; she has such a wonderful, expressive voice. I might suggest that the yelling/screaming she does in a couple of places for emphasis be toned down to preserve her vocals if she’s really concerned that she’s losing parts of her range, but she is a rocker at heart and the catharsis is a hard thing to give up. “A Soft Place to Land” and “For The Record” stood out for me, but she and her mates could rock the phonebook. Both guitarists are talented and played some clean, dynamic leads without showing off. When Kathleen gets more comfortable with her unarguable talent as a singer and songwriter and her natural beauty (I personally love frizzy hair though my wife backs Kathleen's perspective), maybe she won’t sweat the anxieties of life so much and just relax and enjoy her ride as a very talented human being. She has a long road ahead of her and a lot of fans that hope she carries on. And there’s always next year for the Senators (and Bruins).

Amazing show! Loved it!!! The only bad part was when the base started coming through the walls from the other event going on at Webster Hall. It disturbed the quiet nature of her last song.

I listen to Kathleen Edwards recordings because they are interesting and/or pretty. I didn't expect that her music would convert to one of the best live music experiences I have seen a a few years. She rocks hard. She is extremely confident and it was nice to see her having such a good time.

The music is beautiful and complex. The musicianship is tops. Kathleen's personality matches her music.
