Happy Monday. Today we shine our ~*Patron Spotlight*~ on one of our most engaged listeners: Shea Stimac! Aside from being a supporter of our podcast and playing Song Sisters with us, Shea works as a Nanny (Mary Poppins) in Brentwood, CA. We’re happy to inform the world that Shea is #TeamNoun but when it comes to Team Band or Team Solo, Shea says she’s #TeamQuartet …but really, #TeamTori! Read on to find out the STUNNING look Shea put together for her first Tori concert in 1996!
FAVORITE SONG
This is an almost impossible question to answer…like I’m sure it is for most of us. I’m a growing creature. But today I will say, Fearlessness.
FAVORITE ALBUM
Boys For Pele
FIRST SHOW
Dew Drop Inn, Sacramento July 10, 1996. I wore a red vintage floor length beaded gown with my red satin Chinese Laundry shoes (it was a look…the 90’s). I was dressed to see my queen, and see the queen I did. From Beauty Queen to Purple Rain, it was magic.
FAVORITE SHOW
Every show I’ve been to, I leave saying that it was her best show yet. But when I think back, I have to say it’s between that first show in 96, The Fillmore May 5, 1998, San Diego 2009 and Oakland 2011. Don’t make me pick…I can’t do it. Being a California girl, I’ve not yet been to a show out of state. BUT, I was able to fly to NYC in February 2005 for that talk she did with Ann Powers. Although it wasn’t a concert, traveling across the country to be there for that unique and special event was totally unforgettable. What an amazing experience.

YOUR WISHES FOR THE 2017 TOUR
It would be incredible if she had the band *and* strings on stage with her…I blame Marcel for putting that in my head with his recent “fantasy” Facebook post. In real life, I’d love for Hotel to come back; that solo performance in Phoenix ’05…good gracious! And Lady in Blue, Dragon, Pandora…I can make you a list if you’d like.
