SECOND NIGHT ADDED!
Joan Osborne is definitely one of the great voices of her generation. She recently developed “The Songs of Bob Dylan” for her residency at Cafe Carlyle in New York. Osborne is a master of interpretation, taking songs both well-known and obscure and gracing them with her signature sound. While so many other contemporary women singers overindulge in delivery and vocal gymnastics, Osborne’s straight-forward singing imbues her songs with a distinct energy.
She is alluring on stage, her voice simultaneously gritty and clear, smoky and dark while bright and warm - the perfect match to re-imagine and perform the music of Bob Dylan.
