ST. VINCENT IN CONCERT:
Possessing a rare combination of art-school appeal and mainstream accessibility, St. Vincent's Annie Clark is well on her way to full blown pop stardom. From her collaborations with David Byrne and Sufjan Stevens to her acclaimed work as St. Vincent, Clark has demonstrated an unbridled creativity and commitment to pop experimentation, making her a favorite with fans and critics alike. Her recordings may be stunning, but it's her talents as a performer that really make Clark stand out — taking the stage in an architectural gown, Clark's otherworldly movements and ethereal vocals are the stuff of legend, making her 2014 tour dates a must for any fan of true avant-pop spectacle.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Oklahoma, Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, took up the guitar at age 12, going on to play in her high school's jazz band as a teenager. After spending three years at Boston's Berklee College of Music in the early '00s, Clark dropped out to pursue real-world musical experience, joining the Polyphonic Spree for their European tour. In 2006, she left the band to join Sufjan Steven's touring band, beginning to record as St. Vincent the same year. Her 2007 debut album Marry Me received praise for its intricate arrangements and unexpected compositional twists, paving the way for the success of 2009 sophomore effort Actor, a Top 10 hit on Billboard's Independent Albums Chart. With the early-2014 release of her fifth album, Clark once again drew unilateral praise from critics, cracking the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and embarking on an international headlining tour.

Wowee! What a show! The Digital Witness tour will not disappoint. Annie and friends put on quite the show. Certainly a tour not to miss

St. Vincent is truly a one of a kind treasure. She is amazingly talented, both technically and creatively, super hot and charismatic in a really special weird interesting way. It is so rare to see a successful female musician of her kind. She puts on an amazing show. Do not miss it! I go to 50-60 shows a year and this was truly an awesome and incredibly memorable experience.
She is a star and an inspiration! An extraordinary performance.
Not just amazing music, but amazing performance. A new art.
I was expecting something more acoustic from her, but man, did she ROCK IT OUT. It was one of the best shows I've been to. Great performance. Wish she had played longer!
The recent St. Vincent performance at Richmond's National Theater was simply astonishing. Annie Clark and company proved why they are held in high esteem. See this artist now! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
An amazing show - long set, wonderful banter, excellent stage presence... just amazing.
The venue, performers, and crowd were all superb. I would go to another show like it again.
Excellent show. She shreds! Also, saw her at Bonnaroo last weekend.
St. Vincent was a spectacular concert. I urge all of you to see her before she gets even bigger. Her show was the perfect amount of crowd interaction, and the music was unforgettable. Many of the songs sounded even better than the record did. I cannot urge you enough to see her. Really, go see St. Vincent.
So all I'm going to say is that their set is most definitely among the top 5 of all the shows I have ever seen. It was just spot on.
What a great show! St Vincent was awesome. I would recommend it to anyone!
Great concert to share with our children. Annie and her band are talented and I could not stop moving!
I knew she would be great live, but she completely blew me away. Absolutely stunning!
Best crowd-surfing I've ever seen! (And I've been to a lot of shows). I just wish I had gotten to the venue sooner and therefore been close enough to the stage to touch her....okay, that sounds creepy- but really almost 70% of the entire audience were guys that seemed to be there by themselves (like me) just gazing at Annie with their jaws opened. AND she's an amazing songwriter and performer! She really gets into the music too- shreds a dirty guitar solo and dives into the crowd. A real musician and performer- what a talented woman!
The best set was last--St. Vincent with a very focused and excellent performance--a fusion of art punk and metal. I'd like to see her in a club without the metal, but the big concert hall cried out for slash and burn metal punkiness, and St. Vincent delivered big time.
I loved the show. I hadn't heard of tune-yards and I ended up buying an album. The singer from tun-yards had an amazing voice (the album doesn't do justice to the singer). Annie Clark is incredibly stunning. Her performance was great. The downside though were the lights. They were constantly flashing. It made it difficult to watch her at times. The lights gave me a headache and left me dizzy. The crowd (aside from the pot-smokers-there were a lot- who surrounded us) were polite. The crowd definitely got excited when Annie Clark went crowd surfing. That was the closest thing to a mosh-pit I'd ever taken part in.
Loved the energy and the variety of songs that were played. I was sad that it seemed so short.
