Dawn Landes and Eleni Mandell

You know from the start of the set that if a girl is going to play a glockenspiel, you’re instantly going to fall in love, whether that is with the girl playing the glockenspiel or the way it sits on the music… but of course most likely the former.
Lets talk about Brooklyn’s own, Dawn Landes, an American singer-songwriter, who has been spinning her own brand of folk rock and pop for the last eight years, making waves on either side of the Atlantic. She also must have a fantastic music licenser with her songs making it onto film and TV such as her songs “Kissing Song” and “You Alone” featuring in the film “Winter Passing”. Her song “Straight Lines” was also used at the end of the documentary “When Harry Left Hogwarts” which was a special feature in the Blu-ray version of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2”. She performs all of the above this evening in this intimate, candle lit venue, including songs from her most recent release, “Bluebird”.

Eleni Mandell performed a short set at Uncabaret at Au Lac on Sunday night. Always a real pleasure hearing her voice. First time at the Uncabaret show, which is primarily comedy. Young, bright comedians in a really intmate atmosphere, and tons of fun. As far as Eleni Mandell goes, any time you have a chance to see her perform, do yourself a favor and go see her. An extraordinary talent.
