She & Him Melt Away Tour – A Tribute to Brian Wilson @ Red Butte ... (SLUG Magazine)

Deschanel was stunning. Her vocals were incredible—especially considering the chilly, night air—during this She & Him tribute show to Brian Wilson at Red ...

Although, I think part of the beauty of this tour is that the versions of the songs you can listen to are the originals. She & Him paid respect to what is one of Wilson’s greatest writing strengths, and, at times, there were five people on stage singing along to capture The Beach Boys’ five-piece sound. If you looked around at the faces in the audience, they were all smiles, bouncing to the yearning lyrics of one of the greatest love songs of all time. She made the melody move differently and, at the same time, captured The Beach Boy’s emotion in the rise and fall of each note. She & Him comprises the duo of singer-songwriter M. Ward and cherished cutie to TV and folk music Zooey Deschanel. Deschanel surprised the audience with an appearance on one of JEMS’ songs. The only thing missing from this night of beloved tunes was Johnny Carson to introduce the set.
