With nothing to do this Friday, I somehow managed to nab myself a ticket to see Sarah Blasko at The Rev in the Valley and it was an amazing show. This artist is becoming ever more popular with looks somewhere between a miniature cross of (at least I think so when you see her live) Natalie Imbruglia and Sophie Ellis Bextor but definitely with a style distinctly her own. She has more recently been compared to the likes of Missy Higgins and although her voice and talent could easily be mistaken for Missy at times, Sarah’s own unique style of music contains an enchanting and almost haunting undertone. She was also one of the latest representatives for Australia at the South by Southwest Festival in the US.

The Rev made a perfect spot for this gig, with the intimate surroundings giving Sarah great opportunity to interact with the crowd. It seemed she was genuinely impressed by the Brisbvegas audience based on her comments and the way she responded to everyone’s reactions. What a bargain to see this Indie/Folk US signed artist perform for the measly sum of AU$15! (Especially considering she will be gracing one of the stages at Splendour in the Grass later this year). Fantastic night that went a little later than I expected but well worth staying up for!
