ZEE AVI IN CONCERT:
Humble singer-songwriter Zee Avi has been making music that's as unique as her name since her breakout success on YouTube in 2007. Avi's sweet, warm voice has the ability to silence any room and her soothing ukelele-based songs leave fans in high spirits at her carefree performances. Plucking her guitar with the accompaniment of a backing band, Avi captivates audiences with simple yet powerful numbers like "Concrete Wall" and a lovely cover version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me" from 2014's Nightlight. On tour the songstress always leaves concertgoers awestruck with her charming performances.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Zee Avi, born Izyan Alirahman, broke into the music industry in an unexpected way: the singer-songwriter posted a video of her song "Poppy" on YouTube in 2007 that became a viral sensation. After the success of the tune, Avi posted a few more songs on the site but decided to call it quits the night before she turned 22 with her final track "No Christmas For Me". The song was another viral hit, garnering her attention from hundreds of labes before she eventually signed to Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records. Her self-titled 2009 debut secured shows throughout Los Angeles, where she played to sold-out crowds and introduced her music to hundreds of new fans. Her sophomore LP Ghostbird was released two years later to major acclaim, topping the Billboard Heatseekers chart and earning her opening stints on tours with Pete Yorn, Ani DiFranco, and labelmate Jack Johnson. With her 2014 album Nighlight, Zee Avi will have plenty of new material to perform alongside older fan favorites at her alluring shows.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Zee Avi was fantastic -- as much as we love her albums, the live performance was even better. Played a great mix of music off her new record and plenty of "throwbacks" as she called them."
"Zee Avi's show was so much fun! She has such a great on-stage presence and is so gifted musically. Her band was awesome as well. "
"Beautiful, charismatic, incredibly personable and kind with the crowd, great sense of humor. You could tell she LOVES what she does."
Zee was very good. She had a very friendly personality and she did the best she could to work the 50 people crowded up to the front of the stage. But sound issues, which should be no surprise to The Stone Pony, kind of bugged her a bit. Her 45 minute set, although pretty good, well, it just would have been great to see her with a more fully realized performance.
Beautiful voice, entertaining personality! Loved props and instruments..
The opening band "AM" was very good and i want to mention that first as i never heard of them but i am certainly now a fan. Zee Avi however was amazing. Her voice is what always drew me to her and she did not disappoint. Her voice as always was absolutely amazing and better live then on CD's. I like that she did not just her album sets but other songs from all corners to really showcase what her voice can do. It was an amazing time.
She was very good. Funny at the sAme time. The venue was perfect. Crowd was participative. I was able to get autogrphs and pics wd her
Left me wanting more. Not in a "that was so great" way, but more "is she seriously only going to play for 8 song/40 minute set?" way. She could be great live in a small venue like the Troubadour, but it didn't happen this time. I expected better from her.
Zee Avi is incredible. I have not seen or heard someone with a voice like hers in a very long time. She is simply breathtaking. What an incredible stage presence and her warm and welcoming personality brings you right onto stage with her. What I really love about Zee Avi is that she is a talent beyond her years. She is a star. Zee Avi's CD which we had listened to for a few months prior to seeing her, is the reflection seen in her "live" performance. Seeing Zee Avi in person was amazing...I almost cried.
