Katie Melua

When Brit singer Katie Melua played in L.A. last year, a fight broke out between two grannies vying to get the best view of the "Clost Thing to Crazy" vocalist, such is the allure of Melua's jazz-inflected songs, sophisticated vocals and girl-next-door charm. This is an intimate gig for the artist, now plugging a new album, The House, who's used to playing stadiums back home.
