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.
Ihurs., May 19, 9:30p.m.; Alberta Street Public House, 1036 N E Alberta St.;
ticket prices unavailable as ofpress time; 503-284-7665.
