Jamie Cullum at the Gypsy Tea Room

Jamie Cullum was awesome tonight at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas. He played from 10:15 p.m. to 12:25 a.m., including encore. His set included music from his previously released albums, covers of Kanye West's "Golddigger," his regular jazz covers and "Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend was Hot Like Me."
His brother Ben, who wrote, "These are the Days" joined him on stage for the song as well as the encore of "High and Dry."
Cullum's opening act Raul Midon also tore the house down with his amazing guitar playing and soulful voice - a cross between Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Wonder.
And on top of the great show, I got to enjoy it with my sister Kara, so that made it that much better.
The Gyspy Tea Room made for a great venue and was slightly less crowded (even though there were many more people) than Stubbs BBQ in Austin, where I saw Cullum on his first U.S. Tour.
