(7:00 p.m., Hamburger Mary's, 19 NW 5th, 21+ after 9:30p.m.) Award-winning singer-songwriters take Alberta Street Public House For his seventh studio release, Supposed Unknown, singer-songwriter Kric I liman explains,“Though the rest is still ‘unknown,’ I intend for 'Sup posed to take me to great places I haven’t been before.” That meant a jour ney through a sonic and lyrical landscape that introduces dreamy pop to his atmospheric brew of soulful blues and folk-rock. From Ihe Advocate's “40 under 40” to L O G O ’s #1 Click List Artist to Out Magazine's “Out 100,” the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based troubadour has racked up national acclaim with tunes such as “Save the Afternoon” and his cover of Simply Red’s “Holding Back the Years.” I liman’s music has a catchy, coffeehouse-ready vibe not unlike Jay Brannan or even Amos Lee, at once socially aware and intimate, an ear to melody and melancholy. Joining 1 liman on the Alberta Street Pub stage May 19 is Tucson’s trans folk songstress Nainoli Bren net, touring in support of her own disc, Black Crow. Four-time Outmusic award nominee Brennet, who also helped pro duce Supposed Unknown, has an introspective, fearless style that calls to mind Patty Griffin and Joni Mitchell—raw, real and struggling to, as she sings, “fly like everyone, fly like we were meant to fly.” Brennet is known for more than just her genre-busting balladry. Ihe talented multi-instrumentalist has scored two plays, written commissions for chorus and piano, and her music was recently featured in the documen tary Out in the Silence. For their Portland date, both Iliman and Brennet will perform solo sets and accompany each other on select songs for an evening of inspired acoustic stylings.
