Grammy-nominated artist, Elle King, took to Boulder Theater’s stage on Thursday night dawning a ‘bubblegum pink’ Royal Stag hat and a vintage pinstriped suit, in front of a sold-out crowd.
Currently touring her most recent effort, Shake the Spirit (released in October of last year), King effortlessly danced and sang her way through 15 songs even after noting early on to concert goers that she felt she may be losing her voice. In fact, her raspy, soulful tones seem to fuel the patrons’ spirits throughout the evening as they gave an abundance of kudos for the singer pushing through the evening. Without question, Elle’s ability to connect with a crowd was as natural as the tones that filled the theater. Her influence in Soul, Country, Rock n’ Roll, present themselves throughout a diverse set that takes the listener on a journey that is both spontaneous and essential.
Tour dates currently extend all the way into October of this year and can be seen at elleking.com along with the music video to her single, ’Shame’.
