Diane Birch at Joe's Pub, NYC (Jan 30, 2012)


Diane Birch's 2010 debut "Bible Belt" has been a mainstay of my playlists for quite a while now. So I jumped at the chance to watch her perform live in New York City at a venue I had never been to, but at the same time, knew would be perfect to showcase Diane's voice and her self-proclaimed "old soul".

She played most of "Bible Belt", but also some new tracks, including one with a particularly R-rated chorus where she sings about being more "unfucked".

Diane essentially played two shows back-to-back that night, once at 7:30pm and another at 9:30pm. These photos are from the earlier show, but luckily Joe's Pub was Livestreaming both, so I was able to catch the second show as well. If you get a chance to watch Diane Birch live (streaming or otherwise), definitely do it!

Armed with just a grand piano, microphone, and endless talent, Diane Birch took the stage leading off with "Fire Escape".

Diane Birch also spoke about how 2011 was not a great year for her, citing many reasons to write breakup songs... but that she was doing great in 2012 and looking forward to a new full length album!

If most of these photos look similar, it's because Joe's Pub is a seated venue with dinner tables. Not your average concert space, but luckily the sound system was superb and did justice to Diane Birch's voice.

Diane described the 7:30 pm crowd as "very well behaved", but I think everyone was just in awe of her spot-on vocals.

Attendees of the 9:30pm show were treated with an extra encore song, and a cover of Haddaway's "What Is Love". Good thing I was able to watch it on Livestream!
