Saturday evening Alejandra Ribera, the Argentinean/Scottish songstress is onstage at the Chester Playhouse with a three-piece jazz band in tow at 7:30 pm.
Alejandra
is known for her wild vocal range and eclectic writing style and has
been compared to artists like Edith Piaf, Tom Waits and Joan
Armatrading. Alejandra plays anything from jazz ballads, to Mexican folk
tunes to alternative pop. Never satisfied to sit still, Ribera bursts
with energy on stage and exudes a deep commitment to her art. Her show
sold out here in 2012 so get your tickets today ! I heard her on CBC
yesterday afternoon. I actually waited by the radio till the end to hear
who was singing. Don't miss this girl.
