Leah Marlene, Tabitha Meeks, And Kenny Sharp

CRITIC’S PICK
Tues. Aug. 26

Leah Marlene,Tabitha Marks & Kenny Sharp, Eddie’s Attic — It’s billed as “A Night of Retro Pop,” but the songs of Marlene and Marks are generally in the folk/pop vein with subtle connections to the “retro” in the show’s name. Marlene got her break as a young, fresh-faced, powerful contestant on “American Idol” in 2022 so she knows how to hold an audience’s attention. Pianist/singer Meeks arrives from Nashville but there is little country in her twinkling songs. Sharp handles the more soulful end of things on this impressive triple bill sure to introduce talent you’ll be hearing from again. — Hal Horowitz
