Iris Dement started off with one of the Backstage Blogger's favorites, "Sweet Is The Melody," expertly tinkling the ivories to a delighted full house Saturday night at the Narrows.
(Your BSB used to play that tune in coffeehouses on his guitar back in the day.)
Her voice was strong, and she showed a self-deprecating sense of humor. She noted that her husband, Greg Brown, had played the Narrows and said nice things (we like that kind of talk from performers).
Btw, some inside stuff: We almost had to delay the show because we had to call in a piano guy to fix a something-or-other. But the job got done during the break.Local guy Gary Farias opened the show and quickly had the crowd singing.
If anybody has some photos of Iris at the Narrows to share, please leave info in the comment section.
