If you haven't heard of Theresa Andersson yet...
Submitted by ChrisB on September 10, 2008.There are roughly a million reasons why I'm excited to see Squeeze play next week at the Showbox at the Market but here is one more really good reason.
This very lovely woman will be opening:
There were over 715,000 people that found out about her on YouTube before I but I am smitten with Theresa Andersson.
She has a gorgeous, lush voice and in the above video (to her song "Na Na Na") she plays all the instruments herself and loops them back in a manner that, as Pitchfork noted last week, makes it look "as easy as playing Rock Band. And possibly more fun."
Andersson is a Swedish born singer-songwriter who now calls New Orleans home. She just released her latest album, Hummingbird, Go!, last week on Basin Street Records. As I mentioned above, she'll also be opening for Squeeze at the Showbox at the Market next Tuesday, September 16.

The "Birds Fly Away" video is now up on youtube also and this is awesome!! I cant get enough of this chick and seeing her live is even more of a treat then kicking it relaxing to her music in the house. The complexity of how she creates each song by layers instrument over instrument is only overshadowed the power of her voice.

sorry, but this reminds me of when kid rock plays all of the instruments on stage with marginal competency.
the ability to harness technology to create music is only as impressive as the music itself.
