With an angelic voice, Australian pop songstress Kate Miller-Heidke opened or Ben Folds Five at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Wednesday September 18, making her debut appearance in Atlanta to a roaring crowd of new fans as she sang in a sweet and gentle tenor voice that won the audience over with her operatic ways.
Miller-Heidke was accompanied on stage with only a guitar and her voice as the crowd fell under her spell. Having toured with Ben Folds previously, this was the first time that Miller-Heidke had toured with the entire band and loved every second of it. It’s safe to say that Kate Miller-Heidke’s voice and sweet temperament that she will be around for a while. For more information on Kate Miller-Heidke, visit www.katemillerheidke.com.
