Performance Review by Mel Barnes with the Music City Muse
12th & Porter show on Friday, Feb. 27th
Being the editor of The Music City Muse, I get to attend lots of great shows in and around Nashville. Most every show I attend, however, is so male dominated that I have been wondering, WHERE ARE MY GIRLS AT?! Well, ladies and gentleman, Nashville has a big star on the rise. She’s blonde, beautiful, but she’s not country!
Jessica Dawn’s girl next-door bombshell looks and outgoing personality onstage make her an immediate crowd pleaser. However, it’s her dynamite voice that keeps that crowd coming back time and time again. Jessica Dawn’s voice is as beautiful as she is, raw and in a word: BADASS! This girl has a range that would make Mariah Cary blush and an edginess that would make even Alanis Morissette look tame. She rocked the pants off of 12th and Porter with songs off her new EP Graffito including Most Wanted and Shotgun. She even threw in her own rendition of Justin Timberlake’s Sexyback. Jessica Dawn definitely brought sexy back! But more than that, she brought real, raw rock n roll to Nashville, TN!
Nashville band The Good Side closed the show for their Walk on the Moon album release party. These guys have definitely made my “Bands to Watch” list! Their songs were awesome and their energy was infectious. They sure know how to bring in the fans! Make sure to check out the MySpace sites for Jessica Dawn and The Good Side for information on how to purchase their albums!
