Nanci Griffith at High Point Theatre

Last weekend we were enjoying the folkabilly music of Nanci Griffith at the High Point Theatre. Nanci is one of those great musicians whose sound was nurtured by the great music scene in Austin, Texas. As suggested by the above set, Nanci's stage presence is that of a friend playing for you and telling fun stories in your living room. She tours with the Kennedys, seen seated to her left. Singer/songwriter Nanci Griffith is a survivor of breast and thyroid cancer and her songs reflect her gratitude for being here to celebrate life with each and every one of us.

Since there is not yet a High Point Daily Photo (hint, hint), we like to share post from down that way every once in a while. The High Point Theatre, located at 220 East Commerce Avenue, is billed as being one of the finest stage and gallery spaces in the southeast. From grand, elaborate performances like the Nutcracker ballet to fireside music events like Nanci Griffith, we have enjoyed every single event we have seen there. Here's to a great weekend for all of us and finding a little spot that makes us feel cozy.

It is always nice to see Nanci Griffith - so many years have gone by and yet her music, the songs and her ramblings bring back a lot of memories of a simpler life. Much remains the same but so much has also changed.

I so love Nanci's work and have heard her live only once. I'm glad to see she is touring strong. I had heard about her breast cancer treatment, but not about the thyroid, so am doubly glad to see her working. Her voice is so unique and wonderful. Although I do love her songwriting very much, her Voices, Other Rooms remains my favorite of her albums. She's a great interpreter of others' work as well as her own stuff. Glad you got to hear her and thanks for sharing your concert adventures.

I meant "Other Voices, Other Rooms." :-)
