Yesterday we went to Pittsburgh to see Great Lake Swimmers perform @ Garfield Artworks where the lovely Eleni Mendell opened along with local act, Pairdown. Prior to the show we were not familiar with Ms. Mendell's work, although it did not take long for her to win us over with her beautiful voice, bringing to mind the likes of Cat Power, Sam Phillips and Jenny Lewis. As far as Great Lake Swimmers -- they were even better than advertised, if one could imagine. As a result, we left Pittsburgh even bigger fans than we already were of this amazing quartet from Toronto.
