Ida Maria at Union Hall

Thanks to Brooklyn Vegan on blog radio, I found out that British singer, Ida Maria was in town this week for a few shows. Despite the fact that the shows were already sold out, we were able to sort of weasel our way into Union Hall on Friday night- WIN!

Ida's voice was admittedly a bit worn out, but for some reason, the husky cigarette and whiskey tainted British/ Norwegian accent works for her and the show was killer. Quite the performer, Ida rocked out on guitar with her band, nearly ripped her shirt open, and even poured a bottle of water on top of her head. Badass. Hey, ya think maybe I sound better singing in a different language??


Here's a video of her performing my favorite song, Stella, from her self titled album
