Katy Kirby, July 26
Katy Kirby released new album Blue Raspberry last month via Anti-, and now the Texas-born, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter will be spending most of the year ahead delivering it to the masses. Included in a new batch of just-announced shows is a July 26 twirl at Brighton Music Hall in Allston. Kirby’s music is filled with wonderful nuances and calculated whimsy, and it should sound wonderful in a live setting. “This record is much more personal than I intended it to be,” Kirby says. “I was in a period of experimenting with how I write, and what came out was a song about a woman, about an imagined her — I didn’t think I was writing as or about myself, but these kinds of songs kept coming out, with fragments of overlapping lyrics linking them together like beads on a string. They seemed to inhabit the same world.” Tickets go on sale Friday (March 1) at 10 a.m. local time.
