CRITIC’S PICK: Courtney Barnett
Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Wed. May 6
Courtney Barnett
Truman Sinclair, The Tabernacle
Australian indie singer/songwriter Barnett (she has since moved to LA), initially found fame in her home country, the UK and in the States (where she was nominated for a Best New Artist GRAMMY® for her 2015 debut full-length album. Four more have appeared since, with Creature of Habit, her first in five years released earlier in 2026. She will likely feature many of those songs which range from the punky strum of “Stay in Your Lane,” to the dreamier, more pop-oriented approach of “Mantis.” The new disc was especially welcome after such a long layoff, and the size of this larger auditorium speaks to the fact that she hasn’t lost any fans in the interim. Melodic LA folkie Sinclair makes a musically sympathetic opener. — Hal Horowitz
