Nina Storey – Live in Denver

We moved to Denver in 1994, and the name Nina Storey has floated around my consciousness since then. She was one of those artists that you listened to her albums, and thought, DAMN. Her voice kills. And you saw the posters for shows around town and swore you were going.

But for whatever reason, I never did. (I know. Ugh.)

Nina moved to LA five years ago, but around here, she will always be Coloradoan.

I saw her new album, “Think Twice” pop up on my Rdio new releases in early January and I have been listening non-stop ever since. It’s seriously SO good. Something that makes you feel good. In particular, I love the title track, “Gimmie Some,” “Private Army,” “Come Back,” “Run For Cover,” and the stunningly beautiful “This Naked Woman.”

THEN when Nina popped up on my concert alerts, I immediately requested a photo pass. Nina immediately wrote back and asked what the heck “Greeblemonkey” meant.

Oh yeah. This was gonna be fun.

And that’s the thing, just like her music (six albums to date) Nina in concert is fun, kind, engaging and damn gorgeous.

She has two upcoming shows and you can guess which one I will be attending.
