The New Zealand singer-songwriter brings intricate arrangements and a voice that commands absolute attention. Her live shows are intimate despite the venue size—she draws you in rather than projecting outward.
Peter Hook and The Light at The Showbox
Fri, Sep 25, 8:30 PM · The Showbox · from $58
The New Order and Joy Division bassist brings a full band to play those two legendary catalogs in their entirety. This is post-punk history performed by someone who helped write it, in a room where every detail matters.
