Fiona Apple Tickets Las Vegas

Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart is an American singer-songwriter and pianist.  Fiona garnered international acclaim for her 1996 debut album, Tidal, which was a critical and commercial success.  She received a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single "Criminal" from that album in 1998.

Apple defied categorization or any easy career path, almost running the pattern in reverse, opening her career as a highly touted and popular alternative singer/songwriter, then transitioning into a cult artist.  She certainly benefited from the open-door policy of modern rock in the mid-90s, following the path of crossover alt-rock piano-based songwriters like Tori Amos, but Apple was hardly a copycat: she had a strong jazz undertow in her vocal phrasing and melodies, she had richer arrangements, she had a poppier bent to her songs.  All these things helped her 1996 debut, Tidal, find a wide audience, one that increased considerably in the wake of the controversial video for the single "Criminal", but Apple made it abundantly clear that she wasn't an amateur provocateur with her sophomore album, When the Pawn Meets the King, an album the increased her critical reputation and cult, which would be pillars of support during her intense battles while making her third album, Extraordinary Machine.
