Concert Review: Sarah Harmer @ Massey Hall, Sept. 17, 2004

With C'est What's Nia room gone from the list of Toronto's music venues, Massey Hall has quickly taken over as my favourite concert venue. One seats no more than 200, the other seats approximately 2800. They're obviously very different, but both have a sound quality superior to 98% of the other live music venues in the city.

Sarah Harmer headlined Massey Hall last night. The background was a simple combination of white fabric backdrops and coloured lighting. Although there were a few band missteps, Sarah's voice was crystal clear from the moment the first lyrics of "Around the Corner" escaped her lips to the last word of (my personal favourite,) "Lodestar," with which she closed in an encore. She sounded beautiful but my only complaint is there were no funny anecdotes or interesting song explainatons to make me want to spend another $50 for the next time she comes around.
