Just another rainy Tuesday morning at work? Think again.
Today Paolo Nutini came in to do a special performance just for the Atlantic staff! He’s touring now and performed last night in Amagansett and performs tonight at Terminal 5. We were lucky that he was able to squeeze us into his schedule and perform a few songs before his concert tonight. He sang a few songs off of his new album, 'Sunny Side Up', which is in stores now.
He opened up with “Pencil Full of Lead” and followed that with “Candy.” Paolo put on an amazing performance and had the entire staff dancing and stomping their feet. He kept the momentum going and took us all by surprise as he performed his own version of “Down in Mexico” by The Coasters. It was a fun and lively addition to the set. His band was really awesome and everyone seemed to shine in this song.
As Paolo came down to his last song, he played “Coming Up Easy,” a personal favorite (which you should definitely download now). As the song came to a close, everyone was cheering and clapping, waiting for an encore. Paolo made sure we all had time for one more song and then chose “Growing Up Beside You” as a more mellow choice so we’d be more relaxed to get back to work. All in all, Paolo’s performance was awesome and had everyone smiling and dancing.
