Info: On Tuesday night Richmond, Virginia singer-songwriter Natalie Prass graced the main stage at The Workman's Club as part of her worldwide tour for sophomore album, The Future and The Past, which was released in June of this year. Support on the evening came courtesy of North Carolina folk-rock artist H.C. McEntire, for whom's full set you could hear a pin drop.
Prass and her band's performance for the sold out show was insanely good, there was funk, synths, rock, electro-pop moments and intense, bare moments, in particular when the band left the stage for Prass to perform 'Far From You' solo on the keyboard. It was sheer magic, and a step deep into the past, the rare live music moment when your heart snaps in two, the vocal was outstanding in its humble power and beauty.
There was no doubt in my mind we were in the presence of an artist who is set to become iconic, in the same way the likes of John Grant and Annie Clark have over the past 6-7 years. For 2018, it was easily the most mesmeric show I've been to, and when I left to go home I promised myself I would never miss any show Natalie Prass performed in Ireland in the future, it will be easy to keep.
