Sonya Jevette Wobbles the World (w/video)

Last night before her show started Sonya Jevette said Second Life had screwed up a cute jacket she was wearing but I thought what she was wearing looked pretty cool anyway!


Sonya Jevette didn't give another thought to what she was wearing at Cat's Art MusikCircus last night and went straight into a set that wound up being her originals from start to finish.  Sometimes she does covers by Adele and others and they're quite beautiful ... and sometimes she doesn't.  Some wonderful things about her show are that you don't know for sure what she will do but any songs she does perform will always have a freshness so it doesn't matter whether you have heard them before.  That's more than professionalism as it's a real gift to be able to do that.

One song you can count on her doing is the "Big Girls" song and it's always a pleasure to go up to dance on-stage with her during the performance.

We need another picture to really bring this to you, tho:


What's that on Cat's face.  Well, that's bubble gum, honey!  That might seem a little disrespectful but it's part of the song as when Big Girls go to the dance floor to make her wobbly wobbly move some, she will be poppin' that gum.  All this is in the lyrics to the song.  It's a great one.

Truth be told, Sonya isn't even that big.  She doesn't look like a heroin-addicted New York model but why would anyone want to look like that anyway!

Better than showing you pictures, let's go with one of Sonya's YouTube videos so you can hear her sound.  This is "My Dreams" from the set she did last night and it's from her Singer / Songwriter Challenge in which she is writing one new song a week for a year.  It's a very beautiful song and I love hearing it.


I can hear destiny calling
and she's saying
child,
have the strength
to follow
follow
your dreams

Sonya Jevette is very much following her dreams.  Live it!

And Cat and I danced


If you're thinking Cat is still poppin' that gum, well, yes, she is (laughs).   Who else can look beautiful while poppin' bubble gum!
