I saw one of my favorite performers, at one of my favorite venues last night: Michael Sicoly at the Triple Door  - it was a fantastic evening!

The first time I met Michael was in Whistler at the Chateau.  I was skiing with a group of friends that knew Michael and they took me out for a fun night of dancing and listening to good music.  Michael really knows how to engage the crowd and create a fun atmosphere. 

This was the first time I saw Michael more as a true showman rather than playing music to dance to.  (He is excellent at both!).  He always entertains and was definitely in his zone, not only playing but impersonating Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart and Bob Dylan to name a few.  I was super impressed with his three Italian songs, even though I didn't understand the words, the performance was so moving, it brought a tear to my eye.  There were also fun sing-along songs.  I loved it all but what I think I loved the best were his original songs.  I hope to hear them all again, maybe on the radio one of these days soon! 

If you ever get the chance to see Michael Sicoly perform, take the opportunity!
