KT Tunstall, the amazingly versatile singer-songwriter out of Edinburgh, Scotland, played a solo show to a sold-out crowd Thursday night. Actually, she had a little help from "all my Taiwanese friends," a reference to the loop pedal, keyboards, guitars and assorted equipment she used during a 75-minute set.
I saw KT last fall, when she and her band impishly dressed up like dead rock stars for a show on Halloween. ("Halloween with KT") She had the stage all to herself last night at the Aladdin and had the crowd in her hand from the first song.
She is a fireball. She can wail on a guitar and bounce around with the best of them, often using her signature loop pedal for backing vocals or instrumentation. But she can also slow things down, too, as she did on a few songs from her latest CD, "Tiger Suit," and an all-acoustic, unreleased seven-song EP.
She also has a disarming sense of humor:
Female fan: "I love you, KT."
Tunstall: "What a coincidence. I love you, too...and I don't even know you. Does that make me slutty?"
The song below is from "Tiger Suit." She closed with a hit "Suddenly, I See" from her debut CD.
Wondering about her heritage? Her mom is Chinese and Scottish; her dad, Irish.
