NewOrleans based singer-songwriter who has always been a little unorthodox. Shegrew up listening to artists like Leonard Cohen and John Prine, and begantaking piano lessons at age six. As Lilith Fair-era singer-songwriters likeSheryl Crow and Ani DiFranco emerged during her preteens, she ditched the keysfor a guitar and began writing songs. Before long, her voracious musicalappetite led her to a lifelong love of jazz, Motown, and great songwriters fromIrving Berlin to Tom Waits. Tickets $25
