Theresa Andersson Plays At Barking Legs Theatre Sept. 16

Thursday, August 16, 2012

Theresa Andersson will be stopping in Chattanooga at Barking Legs Theatre on her upcoming fall tour. Her critically-acclaimed sophomore album, Street Parade, was released on Basin Street Records earlier this year to praise from The New York Times, USA Today, SPIN, and more. 

Review for Theresa Andersson:

The Swedish-born songstress has been living in New Orleans for nearly 20 years, and Street Parade is a lush, joyful and sometimes melancholy ode to the city. A regular performer at Jazz Fest, Theresa not only performed on a main stage at this year's festival, but also debuted music from Street Parade live in NOLA's Mardi Gras parade, riding atop a giant bird float.  

She is best known for her live show, where she crafts layers of drums, strings, and her soulful voice using looping pedals, a la Andrew Bird.

Location Of The Delta Queen Is The Problem

The Delta Queen is a magnificent part of history and in many ways I'm pleased she is in town. Having the boat where she is is the problem. The boat blocks the view of and from the prettiest park in our town. The crew take many of the parking spots around the park leaving families to park across Frazier and schlep their kids, strollers and picnics to the park. You don't get fireworks ... (click for more)
