ST. VINCENT IN CONCERT:
Possessing a rare combination of art-school appeal and mainstream accessibility, St. Vincent's Annie Clark is well on her way to full blown pop stardom. From her collaborations with David Byrne and Sufjan Stevens to her acclaimed work as St. Vincent, Clark has demonstrated an unbridled creativity and commitment to pop experimentation, making her a favorite with fans and critics alike. Her recordings may be stunning, but it's her talents as a performer that really make Clark stand out — taking the stage in an architectural gown, Clark's otherworldly movements and ethereal vocals are the stuff of legend, making her 2014 tour dates a must for any fan of true avant-pop spectacle.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Oklahoma, Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, took up the guitar at age 12, going on to play in her high school's jazz band as a teenager. After spending three years at Boston's Berklee College of Music in the early '00s, Clark dropped out to pursue real-world musical experience, joining the Polyphonic Spree for their European tour. In 2006, she left the band to join Sufjan Steven's touring band, beginning to record as St. Vincent the same year. Her 2007 debut album? Marry Me received praise for its intricate arrangements and unexpected compositional twists, paving the way for the success of 2009 sophomore effort Actor, a Top 10 hit on Billboard's Independent Albums Chart. With the early-2014 release of her fifth album, Clark once again drew unilateral praise from critics, cracking the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and embarking on an international headlining tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
" Even better live than on her albums, St. Vincent lit up the Fox. It was an awesome mashup reminiscent of Bowie, Mercury and Gaga. I loved it, and will be back for more."
"Gorgeous songs, surprising choreography, enchanted excitement. I urge anyone who loves sophisticated pop to see this show."
"Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Great playing, awesome sound, killer production aesthetics and an overall great SHOW. St. Vincent and her band are kicking butt and taking names."
She is such a lively performer and her voice is so good. It's very easy to become immersed in the energy and vibe that even if you're not familiar with her work, it's an excellent show.
Excellent and show in a great venue (Micigan Theater In Ann Arbor). Crowd was on their feet and dancing!
Without a doubt one of the best concerts outs there. She rocks hard and kicks ass
Perfection, perfection, PERFECTION, pppppppperrrrrrrrrrffffffffecccccccccttttttttiooooooon. That is all.
10/10 No notes. Seen 1000’s of shows. She’s giving Bowie-level brilliance.
Great performance. Performance art. Unique, committed, invigorated, talented, and gifted.
Incredible show! St. Vincent is NOT to be missed live! Great sound, incredible lighting, incredible performance. Truly a highlight of my year/decade/lifetime!
Amazing experience from the people helping us with tickets, to security, bartender, beer and food, opener, and the star: St Vincent. My second time seeing her and she’s always wonderful. Can’t wait to do this again!
First time at the venue "The Anthem,"in D.C. First time seeing St. Vincent in person. She's awesome--great music, massive energy, good positive and mischievous vibes. I was prepared for a show that wouldn't be as good as I was expecting; some artists are better recorded and not live. However, the hype was correct--St. Vincent puts on a kick-booty show with a talented band and crew. The people at The Anthem were very friendly and efficient. Good people and an interesting venue. Great show at a fun place. Go see St. Vincent for yourself! You won't be disappointed.
The Anthem became a bucket list venue to visit a few years ago when I saw a news feature about it. I came down from north Jersey instead of seeing St Vincent mid week in Brooklyn. I turned it into dinner and drinks at the wharf with a great show. The performance was excellent and was made better by absolutely perfect sound!! I stood in general admission middle of the pack for over 3 hours as a 56 year old man who drove 4 hours and then golfed 18 holes before this great event. The adrenaline of the show (and some beer) helped to keep me standing. I will be back and may consider some of the seats that all looked to be good views instead of standing. Great show. The fans were real fans of the band and Annie was sweet and caring of the fans as always. Such a talented performer.
