Aimee Mann, 22 ½ Lost In Space Anniversary Tour

CRITIC’S PICK
Sun., June 22

Aimee Mann, Jonathon Coulton, Variety Playhouse: The time Aimee Mann spent leading new wave band ‘Til Tuesday (1983-’90), and penning their hit single “Voices Carry,” seems like ancient history as the prolific, award winning singer/songwriter’s solo career has since progressed into iconic status. She long ago dispensed with major labels, instead releasing music on her own Superego imprint. Mann’s soft spoken yet insistent, velvety voice enlivens everything as she moves from introspective musings to the stylized Burt Bacharach- inflected pop of 2021s magnificent Queens of the Summer Hotel. This “22 ½ Anniversary Lost in Space Tour” revisits that career-highlight 2002 album but it’s likely she’ll play much more than that. —Hal Horowitz
