On July 24, singer-songwriter Aimee Mann brought her Northeast tour to the big room at the Egg in Albany. Jonathan “JoCo” Coulton (sometimes collaborator with Mann) brought his music, humor, and his geek sensibility to the show.

Review by Marie Miller for Nippertown

Her warning to us that there might be mistakes was untrue.  If they were made, our brains had a lot to chew on with her lyrics while our ears dealt with the aural delivery of emotions.  It is hard to tell which was more choice: the harmonies or her idiosyncratic voice.  Sometimes she delivered straight alto melodies; sometimes, she took a bit of soar up the octave; sometimes, she played with her vocal cords to deliver a bit of a yodel/warble; and sometimes, there was an accent you could not place, but was not displeased in hearing. She’s indefinable, and her band was more than up for the challenge to keep up.
