More of the amazing Mieka Pauley. You can catch her live at Rockwood Music Hall this Friday, February 11th, at 10:00pm on stage one. If you haven't seen her live, you're missing out. Check out this recent review in the Patriot Ledger about her opening set for Jeffrey Gaines:
Boston songwriter Mieka Pauley was a fine choice as opening act, as her music has much of the same urgency and driving rock power as Gaines’. Pauley was audacious enough to open with an a capella version of her “Marked Man,” a haunting song performed with jaw-dropping vocal power by the diminuitive singer. Pauley also did a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” (as done by Jeff Buckley, she confided) that was transcendant both for her gorgeous vocal sustains and her intricate fingerpicking.
Pauley concluded her half-hour stint with “Blunt,” a tune that hilariously recounts her experiences on the road, and the many ways fans test her good nature. To paraphrase, after she’s poured her heart and soul out all night, it becomes especially galling to have fans ask “what’s your real job?” Those are the times Pauley imagines using her guitar as a blunt instrument–let’s hope that never happens.
