Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival does it again!! Mindi Abair Acclaimed Powerhouse Saxophonist/Vocalist

1426632613346Although I’ve attended many Mindi Abair concerts in the last 10 years, I have to say, this was one of my favorite settings. Once again, I’m seated in one of the most beautiful Amphitheaters in the world; I’m at Lake Tahoe. The sun is setting and Mindi Abair is applauded as she comes on stage dressed in skin tight leather and as dazzling as the star that she is!!

She starts blowing that saxophone and everything becomes electric IMG_7557with music. From the keyboardist, to the bass player and the fantastic drummer, it was a jaw dropping performance. Mindi played many of her new songs off her latest CD, ‘Wild Heart’. At one point, Mindi saw me in the audience and blew an extra note for me! This is what I like about this amphitheater. It’s so personal and warm. The staff, treat you like a VIP, no matter where you’re seated. I felt the tickets were affordable and worth every dime. The food catered by Brimm’s catering is outstanding and delicious!

Her impressive list of credits include ten #1 radio hits, a two-season stint as the saxophonist on American Idol, a national tour with Aerosmith, collaborations with Bruce Springsteen and Booker T and appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman. Mindi set Sand Harbor a-rockin’ this summer with her unique blend of infectious energy and extraordinary talent!
