Another Rise || November 17, 2006
Forgot one show for Saturday, which I'd normally just insert in the weekender post, but I'm very interested in this one.
AllGood Cafe: Sarah Jaffe ($5)
This 20-year-old Dallasite led the relatively forgettable Tomahawk Molly in recent years, but unleashed as a solo artist, Jaffe deserves to finally make waves in this town. With echoes of Fiona Apple and tiny traces of Gillian Welch, Jaffe's weary, full-bodied voice is a cavalcade of lovelorn Southern youth, and though her songwriting appears hit-or-miss at this point (great poetry in some songs countered with lame rhymes in others), the newer, more modest material is so much more appropriate for her delivery. She's on a fine bill of similar songwriters on Saturday, opening for Doug Burr and Crushed Stars (the latter of whom don't play nearly often enough around town). Arrive by 9 p.m. to hear Sarah. -SM
