Maura O’Connell Does It Right in Nashville
Last week, I had the privilege of attending a performance by folk singer Maura O’Connell. I have to say, compared to the average mainstream, large-scale, multi-media music extravaganza, this singer just didn’t do a lot of things.
Ms. O’Connell did not have an extravagant stage show. The concert took place at an old theater. The stage set included microphone stands and monitors.
Ms. O’Connell did not keep it light, feel-good and fluffy. She talked about politics and homeless people and extolled the virtues of guilt.
She did not perform rehearsed choreography where she straddled a chair and swung the mike around like a rodeo champ or stripper.
