Marian Call has officially left the state for the winter in the Millennium Tortoise, her 40' 1970 tour bus. But a few evenings ago she performed one last time for 2008 here in Anchorage at the Snow Goose Theater. Her performance was nothing short of dazzling. Backed by her band, the Acoustic Savants, she presented a well rounded show made up of songs from her album Vanilla and peppered with a smattering of new songs from her upcoming release tentatively titled Got to Fly. Highlights included a revamped version of Vera with an intricate acoustic guitar line and a blistering violin solo, the debut of the title track from her upcoming album Got to Fly, and a barn burning rendition of Joni Mitchell's Chelsea Morning. The closer, Honeyed Out written by Kris Delmhorst, can be seen and heard here. Marian, you will be missed!
