Duncan Sheik debuts new stuff in Austin

Tonight I finally got the opportunity to see Duncan Sheik perform, ten years after I was ensnared by his first single “Barely Breathing.” I have followed his material since then and still really enjoyed it, especially his 2002 albumDaylight. The show was even more special because he performed at the Cactus Cafe, a venue that only has seating for 300 people at most. None of that Arena Rock for me anymore. 
 
Duncan put on a great show. He mainly performed material from his new album White Limousine which was released Tuesday. I didn’t get much opportunity to gain any familiarity with it though. However, he sang with enthusiasm and sincerity so my memory will guide me to pick out the stronger singles for my stream. I do know that I have an even higher opinion of his singing. He has an awesome voice live. The Cactus is small, you can’t cover it up with amps (Madonna, I’m looking in your direction). I do hope he comes back soon. 
 
Another photo for me to add to my collection of Brushes with Greatnessportfolio. He was also gracious enough to sign my copy of his new CD with a personalization on it!
