Lisa Hannigan @ Shepard's Bush London

Lisa Hannigan and her band instantly reminded me of 10,000 Maniacs as they opened up Wednesday night in London for what I think was one of her first big shows in the city. Her voice is an amazing mix of Natalie Merchant at her best and Nina Simone. The show was very mellow with a seated crowd but culminated in the best version of "Free Until They Cut Me Down" by Iron in Wine I've ever heard. It had a much more haunting feel the the video below but I thought it was worth a look.
