Mieka Pauley @ Perkfection/Jeffersonville, IN (10.03.2008)

last night, boston based singer/songwriter mieka pauley played and intimate, informal set at local coffee house, perkfection just across the river in jeffersonville, indiana.

the show was opened by a local artist rachel stump, who delivered a nice, very engaging set of originals peppered with a couple of patty griffin and brandi carlisle covers.

mieka played and all acoustic set, a little over an hour, mostly selections from her excellent new cd, "elijah drop your gun." the show was well attended for an intimate coffee house type show, the place was full, the crowd quiet, attentive and supportive. mieka was in a great mood and quite hilarious (apparently a bartender at a place she visited pre-show, just down the street was quite "generous" with some shots when he learned she was a performer and about playing down the street in a few minutes) and was in great voice and was a much better, more stylized guitarist than i remembered from prevous time that i had seen her.

a great, very enjoyable night, both in music and good vibes.
