Ledisi - Pieces of Me Tour
I have never left a concert feeling so inspired! I’m writing this review on my way from Charlotte, forty minutes down the road and I still have chills. With five wardrobe changes, stellar background singers and band, plus a feet-stomping encore, Ledisi threw a world class show that rocked me to the bones. She’s organic–as my husband would say. All natural raw talent that stands alone–but I sucked up all that energy she gave! Go to a Ledisi concert and you WILL feel her spirit. Her heart matches her talent. When watching her perform, her energy cloaks you like a warm blanket of feel-good.
She sang (and danced–really. Down and dirty with her background singers) a medley of my favorites, and surprisingly sang Bravo and Pieces of Me (my heart strings) all the way through. I had a once in a blue moon groupie moment. One my husband has never seen before.
My favorite part was her testimony, how she almost gave up on what God gave her. Her words of encouragement will stay with me, especially: “There’s a door called fear, and you must open the door to see the blessing on the other side.” You can’t help but love a women who shares her empowerment, her gift.
Real music lovers will appreciate the Pieces of a Me tour. Go now and purchase your tickets. Kill the procrastination. You’ll thank me after the concert.
