I really enjoyed this show. I went specifically to see Eden, but really enjoyed the other ladies as well. My only complaint was that the instruments tended to overpower the vocals, especially on the more rockin' songs.
Other than that, it was a great show!
OUTSTANDING VOCALS~~~ I LUV PAULA COLE!!!
I thought this was an excellent concert by an excellent artist. She did a wonderful job!
The concert was a great overall experience. It was my first time to this venue and I thought it was pretty awesome and very beautiful. I enjoyed the special guests at the concert. Audra Mae was awesome and really did a great job warming up the audience. Paula Cole was superb during her set. I LOVED Eden Espinosa and all the songs she performed. She really did give it her all to make is a very fantastic event. It was very interesting to see her varied vocal range. The last part of the show when she sang RUBY SLIPPERS with Audra Mae, which led to a great version of DEFYING GRAVITY was the great ending to a marvelous performance.
Wonderful venue as always. We were lucky with the parking and got out quickly. Eden has a fabulous voice but we felt some of the songs were too much the same and often the balance with the instruments, particularly with Ms Mae was off --singers overpowered by particularly the bass. Instrumentalists were all great though. Think both artists could have made more use of the very talented back up singers. Eden has a charming personality but with all those great musicians I think she could put on more of a show. All in all though, it was a wonderful evening. I'm just being picky!
Eden was terrific. Her fears that only 400 people would show up were totally unfounded. I only wish that she had more variety in her selection of songs. A special surprise was Audra Mae, who I've seen and heard previously. She was so changed -- for the good -- that I almost did not recognize her.
Eden was fantastic. Her guest performers were excellent. The only complaint was that parking was terrible. Stacked parking made us wait a long time before we could get out. To pay $10 for awful parking is really annoying. The venue is beautiful.
A strong song selection, great band, and a surprise performance from Paula Cole helped offset tech problems and a lackluster opening from Audra Mae. More a pop performer than cabaret artist, Eden certainly seems poised to crossover to mainstream stardom.
Next chance you have to see Eden Espinosa, do everything you can to get there! What an extraordinary performer. I've known Eden's work as Elphaba, Maureen, and various Disney personas, but after seeing "ME," Eden Espinosa forever stands as her own humble, down-to-earth, talented self. 3 songs brought me near tears, and one kept me spellbound. Terrific selection of songs that suited Eden's vocal stylings, as well as painted a beautiful picture of the fears, pitfalls and joys of life.
I love the beauty that surrounds the Ford Amphitheater and then couple that with beautiful music and you have an incredible evening surrounding you.
I Loved the show!! Eden was wonderful as always! Paula Cole was wonderful and unexpected! No one was expecting the treat we all received during the opening act with Audra Mae. She blew everyone away with her stage presence and powerful, beautiful voice.
I will be attending many more shows that have Eden and/or Audra Mae on the bill.
Eden Espinosa has a beautiful voice, and the songs she chose were meaningful and personal. Despite some technical glitches, and the overpowering drummer, the concert was very enjoyable in a beautiful setting.
