Last night I went to a little venue called The Loft
in downtown Lansing to see one of my favorite musical artists, a Canadian singer
who calls herself Lights (born Valerie Poxleitner). And yes, I went alone. While here she’s practically unknown, in her
native land she’s kind of a big deal. In
2009 she won the Juno Award (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy) for best new
artist. Recently she performed at the
Juno Awards with Deadmau5. Tickets for
one her shows in Ontario started at about $40.
So when I found out she’d be at The Loft, which
only holds about 400 people, there was little hesitation. Especially with the tickets being so cheap. Sometimes liking artists no one has ever
heard of can be a good thing. Sure, I’d
be going alone. But if that was my
biggest problem I wouldn’t let it stop me.
