TRAMPS LIKE US the music of bruce springsteen ….as sung by alanda coon Featuring: Alanda Coon, Mike Descoteaux, Patrick Burke and Sean Sullivan The rock icon, Bruce Springsteen, is celebrated in this critically acclaimed cabaret performance. Alanda Coon interprets Springsteen with a feminine perspective, giving his poetry simplicity. Through heightened language and generous musical support, the audience is welcomed to hear his lyrics as if heard for the very first time. Carla Gordon of Stu Hamstra’s Cabaret Hotline online states “Coon brings a powerhouse vocal instrument. Her voice is smooth, flawlessly pitched and rich. She moves seamlessly from growl, to croon, to belt, to whisper. Alanda is among few singers who creates vocal whisper with resonance to fill both air and lyrical meaning. Coon has a genuineness and humility that warms an audience in ways that talent alone can’t.” Ms. Coon promises to take the audience on a journey through Springsteen’s musical life while inviting the audience to reminisce about how The Boss’ music relates to their own. This solid show entertains while addressing political and more serious issues.
