KT Tunstall

KT Tunstall, who's full name is Kate Victoria Tunstall, was born on June 23rd, 1975 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is a multitalented singer-songwriter and guitarist but she also plays the drums, flute, piano and kazoo! She is most well known for her radio hits, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See." For more information about KT Tunstall, check out her website at kttunstall.com!

Without further ado, here are some photos with comments from our guest blogger, Janet!

Check out the cool image behind KT Tunstall. It looks like it could be an alternate album cover for her latest album Tiger Suit!

[Tiger Suit is available on iTunes here.]

In this photo, KT Tunstall is seen with her acoustic guitar made entirely out of Talisker whiskey barrels!

KT told the audience that she has been taking piano lessons since she was 4 years old. However, in all of her albums, she only has three songs with piano in them. You can imagine how expensive each song is and how much they are worth in piano lessons!

Here KT is playing a kazoo to the bass line of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes.

Here KT Tunstall is playing "Suddenly I See!"

This is Len, from a Boston thrift store. KT takes him along with her on tour :)

Overall, KT Tunstall is a very talented performer. She does the entire set on her own, recording beats and looping them throughout her songs. She is her own backup singer and was very entertaining, engaging audiences young and old. Definitely worth seeing live and I look forward to seeing her perform again!

These photos were taken at KT Tunstall's concert in Vancouver at the Venue on May 6th, 2011!

Thank you for the awesome photos and review, Janet!

 *EDIT*

I just wanted to add this photo of KT Tunstall's autographed cover of The Scarlet Tulip EP! It's only available at her live shows or on her website: kttunstall.com/

Also, upon completing our collection of KT Tunstall's albums, I realized how silly my comment about her alternate album cover was since the image behind KT Tunstall at her live shows is actually printed on the Tiger Suit CD!

Thank you for checking out MUSIC in Vancouver and we hope you come back soon!
