Remember 2007?  Two things were released: the iPod nano 4 and an album by Feist that was more then likely being played through those tiny earbud headphones.  When she came out with the happy-go-lucky and colorfully choreopgraphed video for "1234," Feist skyrocketed in 2007.  The mirrored iPod commercial had American consumers not only running to the Apple store to check out the new toy, but buying (and realistically burning copies of) her beautifully produced album.

Since the beginning of her music career in the 1990s and with the production of four albums, Leslie Feist became a music icon with her album release of The Reminder.  The album sold 1,000,000 copies and earned four Grammy award nominations.  This Canadian singer-songwriter is not limited to just a beautiful voice; she has also contributed to instrumentals with acoustic and electric guitar, piano, and the banjo.  Her website speaks volumes to her personality.  A section dedicated to charity, photos, status updates and a quirky video of a kitten with her namesake that's up for adoption - "Mushaboom" sounds in the background as the cat rolls around and hides in a paper bag.

She is currently on tour for her most recently released album, Metals, which the New York Times ranked #1 album of 2011.  In addition to Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, Estonia and the Pitchfork Music Festival, Feist will be performing tonight in Buffalo at the Erie Canal Harbor, part of the Buffalo Place Rocks the Harbor summer concert series.
