Knuckleheads
The Acoustic Café Tour – a study in female singer-songwriters – stopped by Kansas City last night, and it was pretty damn wonderful. First things first, though: Who named this tour? Knuckleheads’ full house was held rapt for the entirety of the performances of Erin McKeown, Mary Gauthier, Carrie Rodriguez and fiddler Tania Elizabeth. Still, “café night” implies coffee, yuppies and blond-wood tables – and Knuckleheads’ honky-tonk charm is all swaggering, full-bodied bar. Still, there isn’t another venue in Kansas City that could have hosted this quartet of women as gracefully as it did.
