I was one of the lucky ones to be in a crowd limited to perhaps 500 fans to hear Norah Jones perform her upcoming album, Little Broken Hearts, in its entirety at La Zona Rosa during SXSW in Austin. “It’s a little scary sharing your thing in front of new people,” she said at one point. “But we’re all friends, right?”
Jones will be at Marymoor Park in Redmond, WA on August 18.
Kelly Clarkson, American Idol winner during its inaugural season in 2002, brought her Stronger Tour to the ShoWare Center in Kent this week.
