Went to see Sufjan Stevens play what was meant to be an acoustic set, but it sounded just like his albums. Check out his website here. He was absolutely superb - beautifully played music, and his voice is stunning. One of the few times I've been to a gig where I really thought that the singer was using their voice as an instrument. It was in a small venue as well so it felt very intimate - he had also played at Shepherd's Bush but Kevin hadn't managed to get tickets for that (seeing as how he buys most of the tickets!), and in retrospect that was a good thing - it was lovely to see him in such a small venue.
Can well recommend people going and hunting out some of his albums - particularly Seven Swans and Illinoise. He has a plan to do an album based on every US state - he has done Michigan and Illinoise so far...
