Rhiannon Hart, then – she’s spent the evening walking around the crowd with a tray of home-baked cookies, no joke – takes the stage. The crowd by now’s a feverish mess of pirate costumes, and zinc-paint makeup, Rhiannon keeping true to her pre-concert promise to ‘bring dress-ups.’ Starting with a hint of nervousness that just encourages everyone to cheer her on all the more, she and her band launch into the beautiful Peace, her soaring, crystalline voice immediately stunning the crowd into a hushed reverence. The control this woman has over her vocal chords is nothing short of breathtaking; not only does she madly mix up styles – a snarky, bouncing calypso sound on the wonderful Sometimes, which eases into a sultry Marilyn Munroe by way of Gwen Stefani squeak-husk towards its close – but the nuance that her gorgeous vibrato brings what she’s singing about is something that most singers would work decades to get. Rhiannon makes it look so damn easy. Watch this band.
