On Tuesday night I went with some friend from the Center to San Francisco to see Tina Dico in concert at the Swedish American Hall on market street. I had no idea who she is and I went mostly because of the enthusiasm of my friends. I am so glad I did, and now I don't understand why Tina Dico is not as well known in America as she is abroad. She is incredible. I couldn't help thinking of Joni Mitchell as I drank in the poetry of her songs accompanied by differently tuned guitar and haunting counter melodies.
Tina has seven studio albums released, the most recent is "Welcome Back Colour" You can hear samples of her songs on iTunes by clicking here.
Here we are waiting, Edward, Chris, Angela and Paul. Robin was there too. And there were more of us there not in the photo.

I know she struck a chord with me because there is no chance in heaven that I would sit on those uncomfortable chairs at the Swedish American Hall - oh the pain - out of politeness or loyalty to my friends.
I sat and stayed and listened and swayed and wondered why the heck she isn't splattered all over our media?
I think i'm a fan!
