In seven years — as of October — on this beat, not to mention my affinity for music before I started writing about it, I have gathered a lot of notes on how artists sound live. Too many notes to be of any real use, but I still defer to them from time to time. So while I know that I have heard Laurie Lewis live before, I don’t know where or when. All I have is a quick scrawl that reads “Good grass, soft but with an edge to her voice.” That’ll do. Tonight the bluegrass and folk chanteuse brings her band The Right Hands to the Old Steeple at 7:30 p.m. If you are a fan of
the style, consider going to make some notes of your own ($30, $26.50 early online).
