ABOUT THE EPISODE
It’s always interesting to us to witness an artist truly fill and command a space. Whether that’s a 20,000 seat stadium, a corner coffee shop, or in the instance of our most recent shoot with Melbourne-rising star, Angie McMahon, the alleyway between Franklin and White streets in the heart of NYC’s TriBeCa.
McMahon, no stranger to stadium tours herself having supported the likes of Bon Jovi and the Pixies, shows up for our shoot exactly how you hope a reflective singer/songwriter might -- that is with a guitar strapped to her back (no one’s carrying that for her!), a disarming timid smile on her face and bundled in a likely vintage Pendleton sweater too-thin for this cold March day in New York.
Her face lights up as a dog passes by, fidgeting to tune her guitar before we begin -- she’s soft-spoken, but not in the shy kind of way, more so, you can tell she’s thinking about something long before she speaks it. A curious tourist passing by stops to listen to her soft crooning warm up, and belts over the blaring Broadway traffic nearby, “What’s your name?!”
She laughs, clearly uncomfortable with the attention, before spelling her name back to him, her Aussie accent throwing him off a bit. It’s her soft demeanor here that makes you lean in, as if you might miss something if you’re not careful. It’s a magnetic reaction -- and only one part of McMahon’s magic.
“Play the Game” -- the first track on her recently announced debut album Salt dropping July 26th -- is quite possibly McMahon’s emblematic anthem. It’s a slow, heartfelt build at first -- her voice low and husky before peaking at pivotal moments for necessary relief -- and it left us in awe in that TriBeCa alleyway. Like McMahon herself, it’s quiet and restrained in a thoughtful way, before crescendoing into what feels like a much-needed sigh -- a testament, perhaps, to how helpless we feel in the grips of love.
Suddenly, amidst the chaos and noise of Canal and Broadway only a few steps away, we found ourselves wrapped up in McMahon’s voice and we certainly hope you feel the same.

Sideshow Alley!? Are you...are you, a zombie? [grabs cricket bat, flees to pub] :)
Beautiful song, beautifully shot, and beautifully recorded.
Thanks to Ms. McMahon and all involved for a lovely, inspiring start to my day.
Beautiful song! Love Angie’s voice. I immediately noticed the Prine sticker on her guitar case and also think Angie looks stunning with her Navajo toned Jacket. Angie has great taste in music and warm clothing!
I've missed Sideshow Alley! thanks for another new (to me) artist.
Go Angie !!
Lorrrrrrrddddd have I been waiting for another one of these videos!
Yaaay you're back... I always wonder, what mic did you guys use to capture the vocal? And where to put it? I don't see any mic laying around :p Thx
So good to see a fellow Aussie - The awesome and talented Angie getting some overseas exposure.
Thanks mate!

What a beautiful description. A thoroughly enjoyed reading what was written as much as I enjoyed the video 💓
I first subscribed from the well written description and I would subscribe again for video content...hoping for more poetic descriptions though
Angie, very interesting, original artist... From France.
☀️💘
I would like to know how did you capture the sound? You have recorded first on a studio and then made a playback for the vídeo right?
Hey Zorra! All Sideshow Alley episodes are recorded live on location.
SideshowAlleyTV Thanks for your answer but with this quality I don’t believe it... What mics are you using then? For me it looks like a studio session recording with post producing after with live video for playback.
@@laranjiinha77 Thanks for the kind words! We do take great pride in our audio. We use a variety of mics (lapel, boom, shot gun etc) all dependent on the performer(s). We then mix and master the live recording in post.
