If it weren't for one of those friends, I probably wouldn't have any idea who Keri Noble is and why you should love her as much as I do. Let me back up. A few weeks back, an old friend of mine who I am connected to on Facebook sent me an email. It went something like this....
Friend: "I think we have similar music tastes, would you like to go see Keri Noble with me?"
Lisa: "I'm game, I have no idea who she is but up for a show and would love to reconnect."
Friend: "Great, meet you for dinner and the show."
Lisa: "Count me in."
...You get the picture...
So, we met for dinner. I know it's probably cheezy when people say, "It was like no time had passed" so I won't say that. In fact, 15 years had past, so obviously that isn't even true, but I was so glad to have had the opportunity to catch up. Our lives were in different places, but there were many common connections between us that made the time fly by and leave me so thankful for this friend. We finished dinner and headed to the show at the Varsity Theater.
Here is what I can tell you for sure about Keri Noble. She plays a wicked keyboard. She is drop-dead gorgeous and may become my female crush (my friend's too). She has unbelievable lyrics and a great band. Typically, I don't love going to shows where I don't know any of the songs in advance - I love to sing along (to the dismay of those around me) and I can't do that if I don't know the songs. After the show I bought her Holiday EP and most recent band album, When It Don't Come Easy... Yes, she covers Patty Griffin's song and titles her album after it, but don't worry, it all works out. I love Red Eye Flight and What I Gotta Do. Can't wait for more.
