Rachel Yamagata's soulful solo sounds - Tonight (12/13/11) @ Visulite Theatre

Posted By on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 12:17 PM

The comely Virginia pianist may have begun her solo career as the logical heir to the piano gals of the late-’90s/early 2000s (a little Tori Amos, a little Fiona Apple, a major label deal), but she soon added brasher R&B compositions to her portfolio. (PJ Harvey comparisons were over the top, though, as she lacks the Brit’s inherent angst and fury).

Guest spots on Ray LaMontagne, Rhett Miller and Ryan Adams & The Cardinal LPs boosted her brand even as she lost her label deal and had to fund her latest, the subdued and introspective Chesapeake, via PledgeMusic.

$17-$20.
