A Musical Ladies' Night

Loretta Allen at John & Peter'sSince I was off from work the Friday before Thanksgiving I was able to see two of my lady musician friends perform in one night - over forty miles apart. My journey started with Laura Cheadle at the Burlap And Bean in Newtown Square. I then drove across two counties to New Hope to see Lorretta Allen at a Soir du Femme show playing with other female fronted acts. Lorretta played most of her solo work and covers including "Hide And Seek" by Imogen Heap. I hadn't been to John And Peter's since July and was suprised to run into my friend Heather there as well. Every time I go there I seem to see someone I wasn't expecting. After the show Loretta had copies of her new EP New American for sale and which the other members of Stellium backed her on.
