To continue providing evidence that I have incredibly talented friends, I present Chelsey. She’s a friend that I’ve known for a while through a few different networks. When I heard that she has started singing, I was intrigued. I knew that she was a great photographer, but I never gave any thought to how she would sound as a singer.
As with most of my friends, I try to support their art in whatever way I can. When I saw the indiegogo campaign, I happily contributed. My reward was not only an early release of the album, but a pleasant surprise of an amazing voice singing on said album. I was hooked. I listened to the album several times through on the first day and it has a spot in the current rotation of music that I listen to while I work and drive.
My first opportunity to see a show came on January 21, 2014. Adriana and I joined Club Cafe in welcoming Andy Allo, which Chelsey and her bandmate Vince opened with an acoustic set. I, of course, shot some pictures.
The evening was a cold one and those who braved the elements were treated to a fantastic show. Chelsey’s voice sounds amazing live… something that doesn’t always carry over from hearing a studio recording. She performed one of my favorites, “Come Back To Me” close to the end of the set. I can’t wait to see another show! You can check out her work at http://chelseynicolemusic.com/ and see her on Facebook here.
