Willis Earl Beal @ Biltmore Cabaret, Vancouver, May 5, 2012


I'd first heard of him in January and was rather impressed with Evening's Kiss.  To be honest, I wasn't that taken with the album but was still very pleased when he announced a Vancouver date.  I'm not really sure what I was expecting, he'd been getting more publicity and the reviews had been positive but they didn't really prepare me for the show.  It was ... absolutely amazing.  I don't think I've ever seen a male singer with a voice has stunning as his and wow, is he ever a performer.  He started off reading Bukowski and had the audience rapt from the get go.  He should be massive and I think he will be.
