WXRT, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Miller Beer hosted one in a series of artist showcases with Aimee Mann on Tuesday night at Park West. The series is glibly branded "The Craft". It was a great concert format. Three songs followed by fifteen minutes of interview on stage repeated four times.
Ms. Mann was astonishingly frank and eloquent about her life and creative process. She spoke about the "puffed up" nature of contemporary society and the silliness of the arts industry.
I wasn't familiar with her before but gonna buy the Magnolia soundtrack. Her album became the primary text of the film.
Park West is looking better than ever - smoke free and subtley evoking 1940's supper clubs.
