You could tell that Canadian Music Fest had officially begun because of the rain. It's some sort of tradition, I suppose. One that Mother Nature seems unwilling to break away from. But unless you were hopping from venue to venue, you would have been nice and dry at The Rivoli last night. The brightly light stage (+1 point) and the friendly staff (+1 again) welcomed the crowd in from the rain. Slowly but surely, people started to trickle in to see Robyn Dell'Unto start the show. Robyn Dell'Unto Wearing a classy black dress with white polka dots, the lovely Robyn Dell'Unto opened with her latest single, Just A Bird. It was almost a little disappointing that she didn't bring her giant chicken costume, but it was her delicate voice that overshadowed her costume in the video and we're glad that she brought that with her. What is sure to impress anyone watching Dell'Unto perform is her ability to switch between various emotions, depending on the song. The upbeat Just A Bird will put a smile on your face, but the raw feeling in Ghost will catch you off guard.
The entire room burst out laughing several times as Dell'Unto's on-stage banter reached a hilarity of "Tegan and Sara"-esque proportions. At one point, she read from a napkin "things her mother wanted her to mention." Charlie Sheen was mentioned (#winning.) As was "our big sweaty fat mayor." Sometimes her voice would waiver (nerves?) which was super endearing. Her album is called I'm Here Every Night and if that were true of her performance at The Rivoli, we wouldn't mind.
