Last night, we saw Julie Fowlis in concert, in a small venue with probably only about 100 people there.

Her singing and whistle-playing were just as stunning in live concert as on her albums. And she was also just as charming and sparkly in person as her YouTube videos make her seem. (As opposed to her latest album cover where she really looks nothing like herself.)

Could’ve met her after the concert, but we were hungry and ready to go — and what do I have to say to Julie Fowlis? “Durr, you sing real good. Like, real real good.”

Anyway, at $13 a ticket that concert was a steal.

I’ve been listening to JF since her first album — for nearly 10 years prior to her Brave movie fame — so it was cool to see someone so very good get well-deserved success and now artistically to be able to do what she wants.

And what she does is give an amazing concert with singing like no one I’ve ever heard.
