They work now after I went into your post and copied and pasted the links in my addy bar. I came back to this thread and they all worked.

I love her smile when she is playing. That is the sign of someone who is having the most fun in the room.

She plays so quickly and assuredly that it was hard to get a picture of her hands in focus! I had to wait for pauses in the song to snap. She can go nimbly from one end of the finger board, with accuracy, at blurring speed - gadzooks! BTW: Existing light (rather dim) at ISO 1600.

I went to one of her shows a while ago in the DC area and I really enjoyed myself. She has some of the best stage presence I think I've ever seen from a person at a live show.

When did she start playing an electric bass though?

I bought my tickets this week for her show in May at the Folly Theatre in Kansas City.
Looking forward to it.
Unfortunately, cameras won't be allowed.

She puts on an amazing show, that's for sure. I've seen her twice and will no doubt see her again when she comes through town. Cool story- I hung around to for a while after the concert to finish eating and chat, and when we finally leave we open the door and Esperanza is standing there with her band... Good food, good music, hung with Esperanza for a bit...amazing night

OP, those are great pics! Since the electric is a regular part of her gig now, she should get a nice solid body. I think she is just playing hwatever is supplied to her now. It looks that she played a fretted bass on that gig.

She played a Black (fretted) Fender Jazz through the GK amp on only 1 song - the rest she played on her Acoustic Bass. She was a monster on both and could sing (and scat with her bass!!) while playing. I was in AWE She mentioned before that song that if people give you stuff for free that you should probably use it.
