Damien Rice

Published on May 10, 2007
Irish folksinger Damien Rice wants you to come to the show, but he doesn't want you snapping pictures. Rice — whose beautiful, painfully taut voice and well-timed cello reinvented contemporary breakup music — is legendary for halting midsong to beg concertgoers to be fans rather than photographers. Playing Toronto in 2006, Rice even slyly changed the lyrics of "I Remember" from I remember it well, taxied out of a storm/To watch you perform, and my ships were sailing to I remember it well, when we used to watch concert/Not through a camera, please turn them off, please. Savor Rice at the Uptown, but leave your camera-equipped cell phone in your pocket.
