A couple weeks ago, an all-time favorite artist of mine posted a song of Tim Bernardes on instagram and I was immediately hooked. And in typical millennial fashion, I googled everything I could.
By luck he was coming to SF last week for the second to last stop of his US tour for his album, Mil Coisas Invisíveis, and I convinced a friend who lives nearby Swedish American Music Hall to join.
What’s most memorable about the timing of it all was being able to experience the album live first before providing its repetitive plays via streaming or on my record player (I eventually received the album a couple days after the show).
I hope this post turns someone into a fan. Please check out this piano version of the O Terno title track, Melhor do Que Parece, from the show. The lyrics may hit you harder than you realize.
