I went to see The Indian Summer (http://indiansummers.bandcamp.com/) on January 27 at Ipsento (http://www.ipsento.com/). The Indian Summer is made up of Laura Ann Stoll and Jonathan Colon.
They are a folk band that also does poetry during their concerts.
You can listen to them on their website!
I actually know them so it was quite convenient for them to have a show.
The venue was cozy and homey. Ipsento is small, and like a house so it was like family. We all sat in different chairs, squished together in the small room, while the band stood, played, and read in the corner.
I liked the way they read their poetry - it was very passionate and they emphasized different words very well. They were also very punctual.
I enjoyed the poems, but some seemed "too deep" like they were trying to hard to be deep and artistic. I wish I could've seen the words so I could've taken it in more. I liked what the poems were about though - they were about love and faith. I also loved the combination of poetry and music, it flowed very well together. Coffee shops always make me happy too, especially Ipsento which is one of my favourite coffee shops in Chicago, so that was a plus!
I took this picture with my phone.
Love, Blue
