always amazing
by scheckymix on 8/3/16Birchmere - Alexandriamaura o'connell never disappoints. she has one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices in contemporary music. her stage presence is a tough one to follow and her humour and commentary on current events give us a peek into the kind of person she is off stage. she's real. no entourage, nothing flashy, just a lovely voice and...let's be honest here, she's breathtakingly stunning as well, always has been. it's a shame for us that she's semi-retired. i'll miss her year after year at the birchmere. it was always a performance i looked forward to consistently. karan casey held her own on stage as well. her solo performances were amazing. she's a true talent. on the numbers these two did together, their voices meshed seamlessly. i'm glad i had the opportunity to hear her sing again. they're a great pair. it was a true pleasure.
