Regina Spektor @ The Chicago Theatre: Tomorrow
Slightly accented singer/songwriter Regina Spektor, one of the quirkiest artists in the indie scene come to the Chicago Theatre Saturday. Spektor released her fifth album Far in June which has four tracks produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and The Traveling Wilberries fame.
Spektor uses her voice as an instrument (along with the piano) to add coughs, squeaks and hiccups to her already unusual sound. One element of her music that is admirable as well as confusing to her fans and critics is her ability to be a storyteller outside of her vision and experiences. It is rare in a world of autobiographical songwriting and the excessive need to purge and confess through songs that someone like her can stand alone and share small pieces of songwriting fiction with such confidence and conviction.
Regina Spektor will be at The Chicago Theatre tomorrow night. The show starts at 8:00 and tickets are still available through The Chicago Theater's Website. 175 N. State St. (312)462-6300.
