R & B singer/keyboardist Marcia Ball brought her New Orleans joy to the Narrows on Thursday night. It was the first appearance for this beloved performer, who pretty much sold out the place!
She noted that Fall River, Massachusetts--the Narrows' hometown--has long been in her thoughts because she was educated as a young girl in Louisiana by the Sisters of St. Joseph "from Fall River, Massachusetts."
She is touring in support of her new CD "Peace, Love and BBQ." But she pointed out that she's been touring, for all intents and purposes, "since 1981."
19-year-old Berklee student Emily Elbert opened the show, winning the crowd with her singing, guitar and songwriting chops. That's her below.
