Lindi Ortega and her band played at the Aeolian Hall, London, Ontario. October 20, 2015. I attended with my friend David Cullen (Kate couldn't come) and we had very good seats near the front row. We bumped into some other friends there as well who were in the balcony.

It was one of the better concerts I've been to this year. Lindi is a confident performer with a powerful voice and thoughtful lyrics (there were a few covers). I don't know where to put her genre, let's just say it's unique. Her new album, Faded Gloryville, like her previous releases, is well worth a listen -- if you don't know about her work I'd encourage you to take the time to explore her music on Youtube.... and then run out and buy her music!

1. Run-down Neighbourhood (from Faded Gloryville 2015)
2. Dying of Another Broken Heart (Little Red Boots 2011)
