Vonda Shepard sings frequently in Europe, but until last year, her tours did not go further than Austria’s eastern border. Eastern Europe, especially Romania, has been included in her schedule since February 2009: “American singer Vonda Shepard, performed Wednesday evening at Sala Palatului in Bucharest, in front of an audience of 3.500 people” the Romanian news agency Mediafax announced at that time: “She got the crowds on their feet to sing and dance alongside her the songs that brought her fame – “Someday We’ll Be Together”, “Searchin’ My Soul” and “I Can’t Stop This Feeling”.
“Chris Rea finally concerts in this black hole named Romania and the tickets are SOLD OUT. I’ve googled every ticket winning contest on the internet, called every radio show… no luck. I hope there is a ticket black market out front the ’sala palatului’ in that day so that I can buy a last minute ticket and get in eventually, if not I’ll try to manufacture a badge or something saying I’m a reporter, a security agent, Chris’ personal make-up artist or so
)) I want in!!! Heeelp!”
This comment explains it all! First time in Romania, tickets sold out long long time before the show, full house at Sala Palatului – Bucuresti, thousands of people, many happy faces and a wonderful show with great sounding guitars!
Here are the pics!
