On Thursday night, Mallar and I went to see Bonnie Prince Billy at the stunning Moore Theatre here in Seattle. Bonnie Prince Billy, also known as Will Oldham, is a folk/country singer-songwriter. He is an amazing lyricist who writes beautiful songs, mostly ballads. Mallar and I saw him twice in Denmark last year. He is great live because he really takes the opportunity to change up his songs musically. His band is also really talented. The drummer who played with him this time was amazing.
Our concert experience was sweetened by our front row balcony seats in the gorgeous venue. The Moore Theatre, at over 100 years old, is the oldest remaining theatre in Seattle. Hailed as one of the most beautiful and completely equipped playhouses in America, the Moore (in it's heyday) boasted a grand lobby with mosaic floors, marble, onyx, carved wood, stained glass, and metal. There was also a ceiling fresco in old rose, cream and gold. This info from the Moore's official website.
