EVENT PREVIEWS

The multi-faceted and multi-talented British songwriter, singer, and musician PJ Harvey last toured the USA back in 2017 but I was unable to see her perform live that year due to work obligations. At last, on Sunday, September 15, 2024, I finally had the good fortune to snag tickets to one of her two sold-out shows at Terminal 5, which is located at West 56th Street in Manhattan. The standing-room-only venue was absolutely packed,  but I was thrilled to be there.  Having arrived a bit early, I was glad to find a spot only a few rows back from the front of the stage:  it was great to be able to see Harvey’s facial expressions and pantomime-like moves very clearly.  She has an amazingly theatrical presence on stage.
