<\/a>Noelle Hannibal, with Keith Harrison backing her up.<\/p><\/div>\n
And now I can add another fun night to that list–hearing Noelle Hannibal sing in the famous Genghis Cohen Music Room.<\/p>\n
I can’t believe I had never been there before!\u00a0 How did I miss it?!\u00a0 I guess I was always too busy devouring their delectable food!\u00a0 [Note: I didn’t have time to dine on the night of Noelle’s performance, but just walking through the packed dining room, which featured the same old perfect aromas, made my mouth water.]<\/p>\n
So, let me tell you what an easy experience their music venue is.\u00a0 First of all, there’s always parking in that area, both in the adjacent parking lot and on the street.\u00a0 Then you walk in the door, check right in, and go into the cozy room.\u00a0 You can even eat and drink in there during the show!\u00a0 I counted seating for about thirty, but it looked like they might possibly be able to open the area a bit, to accommodate more guests.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The Genghis Cohen Music Room is through the doors on the right, just beside the bar.<\/p><\/div>\n
Even though the seating is pew-like, it’s surprisingly comfortable, with a table ledge in front of each seat.\u00a0 The stage is the perfect size for probably up to a quartet of musicians, and Noelle and her accompanist, Keith Harrison, filled it up nicely, both in space and with sound.<\/p>\n
Noelle’s set was a lot of fun. Coming to us from her adopted home of Montreal, where she’s very active in musical theatre, she mentioned that the shows she’s done in L.A. in the past are usually original<\/em> music. But this time, it was all modern show tunes, which she said are her passion. They were actually mostly so<\/em> modern that I was familiar with just two songs out of the whole set! And I know musicals! So, it was interesting to hear music that I probably should<\/em> be aware of, and now am!<\/p>\n
