Wed 2/28 @ 8PM

Vocalist Shelby Lynne’s career has been all over the map. She launched as a major label country hopeful in Nashville in the late 80s, but clearly wasn’t a good fit for its cookie-cutter approach. She essayed alternative country, jazzy torch songs, sultry pop rock and a Dusty Springfield tribute album. Although she’s had a few misses, her burnished late-night vocals which deliver deep feeling with a delicate, almost reticent, touch make anything she does alluring. She reliably pulls at your heartstrings without ever overdoing it.

Since 2010 she’s been releasing music on her own label, Everso Records. Her latest, last year’s Not Dark Yet, was recorded with her equally talented vocalist sister Allison Moorer. Together they tackled songs by Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard, Jesse Colter, the Louvin Brothers, Nirvana, Nick Cave and the Killers.

Lynne will be performing at the Kent Stage. Tickets are $20-$40.
