An Incredible Show - Olivia Does Rock!
by QWK999R on 5/1/16The Canyon - Agoura HillsAwesome Olivia Rox concert last night at the Canyon Club. It was a privilege to be there and hang with her after the show. This girl is definitely the next big thing, she sings like a young Christina Aguilera, with the vocal range and power of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Steven Perry of Journey, and has the bubbly outgoing professional presence of a Taylor Swift. Plus she plays guitar and keyboards incredibly well. Just off the final season of America Idol's Top 10 last month, Olivia premiered 5 of her own original new songs that will be on her first album releasing this fall. Suprise guest performers at the show included 2 other American Idol Top 10 finalists, and her dad Warren Hill on Alto Sax. The show was so well rehearsed she even did 5 costume changes in less than 60 seconds each between musical lead-ins tot he next songs. This was Olivia's first ever solo show of what certainly will be a long and successful career, and it was so exciting to be there for the first one. Venue Note; I purchased stage front seats for a clear unobstructed view of the stage show, but the standing General Admissiion crowd began coming in and blocking out view. I had to ask people to move back out of our way, and eventually had to place a dining chip on its side in front of the stage to keep the view open between the stage and our paid reserved seats. I asked the front desk for Stage Security help, they said they would send some one, but they never came. I had to take crowd control in my own hands.
