Karen Elson has arrived.

I had the pleasure of seeing Karen Elson at Lincoln Hall with Dave the other night.
For those of you who have not yet heard of her or had the chance to hear her, she is a fiery redheaded super model, turned Jack White's wife, turned folk singer. Actually, music is nothing new to her. She's been a closet song writer/singer (literally) for quite some time, often turning to her closet to write music for the seclusion it offered. Her album dropped late last month and though I had only heard the title track, her show did not disappoint.






Her sound is very country/folk with an almost gothic theme. Most of her songs were slow and soft, with one exception: 100 Years From Now (video below), which is a song from a cabaret she is part of, was amazing. My crappy coolpix doesn't do her justice in both photo or video, but it was indeed an excellent show. Her presentation was relaxingly sorrowful and low-key; not to mention, that dress was rad.
