Star of Buzzworthy iPod Commercials Makes Columbus Debut

This soulful and savvy chanteuse and songwriter has shot up the charts in recent weeks thanks to her onscreen presence in the Apple iPod nano ® TV commercial featuring her catchy dance pop single 1234 and the release of her critically acclaimed new record The Reminder (which charted in the Billboard Top 20). 1234 is also blazing up Billboard’s digital download charts, currently sitting at #7; it’s also #4 on iTunes and one of their top video downloads. As for The Reminder, it’s an early favorite among critics for consideration as one of the best of the year, with Pop Matters calling it “an exceptional album of stunning musicality,” and Playlouder predicting, “The Reminder is thirteen songs that just might make her famous.” She’ll be performing here with her band.

From her beginnings in a high school punk band (which had the honor of opening for The Ramones), Leslie Feist (who is based in Toronto and Paris) has long been restlessly and uncompromisingly exploratory. After playing guitar with By Divine Right and touring with electroclash vixen Peaches, Feist performed with a wide array of indie and underground talent, including Broken Social Scene (appearing on their Juno Award-winning record You Forgot it in People), Apostle of Hustle, and Kings of Convenience. In 2004 she made her solo debut with the critically adored album Let it Die, a release that firmly established her as one of the indie world’s most intriguing talents.
