Friday Get Out : My Brightest Diamond, The Decemberists

When Seattlest made it to the Paramount last year for what would be an amazing performance from Sufjan Stevens, we were running a little late and needed a drink. Straight to the little bar we went, causing us to miss most of the opening act. We did settle, finally, in our seat for the last couple songs by said act and when it was done, we said to our company, "Wow. We should have gotten here sooner." Then Sufjan came out, handsome devil that he is, and we forgot about everything until we realized that the "cheerleading captain" for Sufjan's band was none other than the woman who'd just finished warming the crowd.

This woman whose performance we'd unfortunately missed that night was My Brightest Diamond (aka Shara Worden) and now she's back to open for another of our favorite bands, The Decemberists. This time, we'll be in our damn seats well before Worden takes the stage.

Classically trained and super-talented, Shara Worden no longer tours with Sufjan's band, instead focusing on My Brightest Diamond. She's since released albums Bring Me The Workhorse and Tear It Down (Remixes).

8pm // Paramount Theater // $27.50 - $32.50 -- Tickets Here.
