Shadows and Light

Jill Barber is not new to the Evergreen Theatre and that is no doubt why she played to two packed houses on Thursday and Friday night of last week. Those who saw her last year, playing with Rose Cousins and Meaghan Smith were treated to a show featuring Jill alone this time. And we were not disappointed.(View Gallery)

Quite how she manages to embody the impossible combination of ingénue and sultry seductress I cannot tell you, but each person in the audience hung on to her every note as though she were sharing a secret with each of us. Les Cooper who plays on her latest CD and also produced it, accompanied her in the performance and together they gave us two wonderful evenings of songs and anecdotes that we will long remember. Thank you so much, Jill for those wonderful evenings, played with a broken arm as well! The photo gallery of the two performances features a song from her latest CD “For All Time”, entitled “Just for Now”.
