TREASA LEVASSEUR
LAST ACOUSTIC BLUE SUNDAY SHOW OF THE SEASON GETS A STANDING "O" |
||
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrmentalist TREASA LEVASSEUR - the "slim chicken" with the BIG voice - delivered an incredible show to close out the ACOUSTIC BLUE SUNDAY Summer Series at THE COVE INN in Westport last Sunday. Not every act that plays here gets a standing ovation. She did. Her performance was more like a "happening" than a show - she had the audience in the palm of her hand all night. To quote regular attendee Dick Christy who posted this on Facebook: "Treasa Levasseur's performance at the final concert of this season's Acoustic Blue Monday Series at The Cove in Westport was as riveting as it was intimate. Fronting a trio which included David Gavan Baxter (guitars, mandolin) and Brian Kobayakawa (acoustic and electric basses), Treasa's used her primary instrument, her voice, as well as her solid keyboard playing to create a mood that allowed laughter, tears, and critical thought to co-exist. If this sounds excessive, ya weren' there!" |
