Venue: The Troubadour- Los Angeles, CA
Date: 5/1/12
Show #27
A friend suggested I go check out these 2 singer/songwriters Katie Herzig and Andrew Belle, and seeing as I was bored and had nothing to do that night, I decided to go. I didn't know anything about either of them prior to going, other than listening to a clip of 1 song each before heading over.
Note- Sorry about the crappy pictures! I brought my Nikon in, only to find out that I left my battery at home charging. Womp womp. I took lots of video though to try and make up for it.
Up first was Andrew Belle. I hate calling him an "indie singer/songwriter" because I feel like that puts him in the same bucket as all the other million indie singer/songwriters, but he's so much better than that. He has such a soft, beautiful, soulful voice with just the right amount of grit to it. He reminds me a lot of Mat Kearney. Simple, beautiful, well written songs. He's also adorable and terribly charming.
I recorded a bunch of videos of him that night, see below!
"Static Waves" ft. Katie Herzig

Katie Herzig, also an indie singer/songwriter with a beautiful voice, was up next. You might know her for her song "Lost and Found", most recently heard on the season finale of Cougar Town. It's easily my favorite of hers. One of the reasons I loved her set was because of her crazy talented band. Any time I can see drums, guitar, cello and clarinet in the same set, I'm sold. I recorded 2 other songs from that night:
"Midnight Serenade"
"Make a Noise"
