Pieta played solo, giving the performance a real “coffee shop” feel, which was a little disappointing given that a set with a backing band would have, in my mind, made a more striking impression.

If you happened to miss Pieta’s performance on KCRW yesterday morning (which is what I imagine she was in town for in the first place), it is streaming in both audio and video formats now on KCRW’s website, and was a pretty good precursor to her performance later that night with Pieta performing the songs “West Monroe”, “In My Mind I Was Talking To Loretta”, “Rollin’ Down The Track”, “Remember The Sun”, “Rolling and Tumblin” (Muddy Waters cover), and a new song called “Calling All Angels”.
