Keren Ann played her first night in Hong Kong this year at Sheung Wan Civic Centre tonight. She took the stage at 20:10 with two other bandmates and kicked off the show with "In Your Back" from her latest album Keren Ann. She played guitar throughout the show, and she also played harmonica on "Chelsea Burns" and "Lay Your Head Down". After "Not Going Anywhere", she joked that song "was written before I know I have to tour all my life." For the encore, she played "Les Rivières De Janvier" from her second album La Disparition and a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi". After a short break, she returned to the stage and asked to have the lights turned off, and sang the song "Manha De Carnaval" in dark and in a cappella.
