Shaye Zadravec NL tour mei/juni
Soms schrijft ze ook liedjes, maar Shaye Zadravec wil vooral zingen, zingen, zingen. En met zo’n stem is haar dat van harte gegund. Naar hartelust plukt ze uit de rijke traditie van country, americana en andere roots zangers als Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt en vele anderen die ook vooral naam maakten met welgekozen repertoire dat door anderen geschreven was.
Shaye is a singer, a sometimes songwriter, but a full time singer, and an exceptional one – a throwback to the era when great singers lent their voices to the best material and built their careers on the backs of these great songs. To see and hear Shaye Zadravec in concert is (as one noted radio personality commented) “like listening to the greatest radio show you ever heard”. Her repertoire is familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, including songs written by Bobby Darin, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Lynn Miles, Willie Dixon, Shelby Lynne, Gus Kahn, Chip Taylor and Doc Pomus, just to name a few. She sings with an ease and comfort that washes over the listener…. so subtle, so graceful – no big notes, no overwrought star search theatrics, just pure, unaffected performance beauty.
