Color 📷 Challenge: Sunday Purple - Wallis Bird 𝄞

Reminiscent of a punky Janis Joplin, irish Born Wallis Bird is enchanting audiences worldwide with her energetic live sets, raw emotions and technically strong rock’n’roll.

The venerable halls of the Arena Wien saw what was to be perhaps one of the years best concerts coming in the form of Wallis Bird duly supported by local hero Chris Shermer with two visceral performances that made the packed venue positively tingle with electric energy.

Situated somewhere between Singer Songwriter Acoustic, Punk Rock, Flower Power and Blues, Wallis encapsulates a lust for life that pours out during her shows. Before she came on stage there was a tangible electricity in the air as the crowd was waiting for her arrival, they were not disappointed. In a strong showing and possibly one of the best concerts Vienna has seen this year, she proceeded to tear the place apart and make it her own within moments of coming on stage.

Passion personified, Bird is an attractive and welcoming presence and the love and fun she carries for her music is infectious indeed and ignited the audience into dance. A free spirit, it is clear that she simply does her own thing and her fans rightly appreciate this element.

The new album ‚Wallis Bird‘ marks another progression, a record deliberately self-titled to mark it out as the defining statement of her career so far. So the confident strut that opens the first single ‚Encore‘ nestles alongside the astonishing vitriol of ‚Who’s Listening Now‘, the folky pledge of ‚In Dictum‘ and the almost carefree** ‚Heartbeating City‘** – all disparate musical elements that go towards creating the whole that is Wallis Bird as a songwriter. The intimacy of the recordings captures the sound and smell of an acoustic guitar being pushed to its physical limits, the sense of a packed-out local bar being conducted in time and in thrall to the energetic, captivating presence who marshals every element.
