Corinne Bailey Rae Live Concert Review On June 6, 2023 a wide variety of folks gathered at Princeton’s McCarter Theatre to enjoy a performance by UK artist Corinne Bailey Rae. Seriously, it was probably one of the most interesting of audiences I’ve ever seen as an avid concert goer, with attendees ranging from early-twenty-something college students to middle aged couples to grey-haired women. My theory is that if you discovered Corinne Bailey Rae during her debut back in 2006 (I’m talking “Like A Star” “Put Your Records On” era), you were either an adult, driving and hearing her on the car radio for the first time, or you were a kid in the backseat listening along. I was the latter. CBR’s music has been a huge part of my life from a young age, so it only felt right to see the legend herself perform in person.
