I've seen countless concerts over the decades (I'm also a full-time musician) and what I experienced in Adrienne's solo event was truly remarkable. She is not only a songwriter with a gift for compelling melodies, arresting lyrics, and a rich harmonic palette, but a vocalist with fabulous technique and a range of colors (often within a single piece) that few singers posses. Adrienne is unique in her range of styles that covers alt pop, folk, and gospel-inflected styles, but also traditional Iranian songs, along w/ her own settings of Sufi poetry by Hafez. Some of her songs deftly traverses the line between traditional Persian music and her own Western influences, including the mixing of Farsi and English to astonishing affect. Finally, Adrienne is a consummate performer who simultaneously embodies mastery far beyond her years with equal measure of vulnerability. There is a Universe in her voice . . .
