CRITIC’S PICK:
Sun. Sept. 21
Ron Sexsmith, Eddie’s Attic — Music journalists have run out of flowery adjectives to describe Canadian singer/songwriter Sexsmith’s music since he made his 1991 debut. He’s been through the major label wringer, has gotten a vibrant thumbs up from Elvis Costello, but even with 17 terrific pop/rock albums to his credit, Sexsmith still hasn’t been able to crack the American market. Perhaps his newest release, Hangover Terrace, songs from which will feature in tonight’s set list, will be that commercial breakthrough. But even US success alludes him, you’re guaranteed a great show from a consummate songwriter who has not only maintained his boyish voice but knack for penning timeless melodic keepers that should have been hits. — Hal Horowitz
