Trousdale - Growing Pains (Deluxe) Tour

CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri., May 29
Trousdale, Very Gently, Terminal West - These three women aren't quite the American Bananarama, but they're close. Trousdale's sunny California-bred singer/songwriters also play instruments as the trio crafts fizzy, day-glo pop that shimmers as brightly as their shiny, rainbow-hued, polyester outfits. Perhaps the only act to play The Grand Ole Opry, Bonnaroo and the Kelly Clarkson show, their harmonies soar and glide, transforming Neil Young's haunting "Old Man" into a sweet, slick but somehow satisfying single. This is the Growing Pains tour, named after their second album, songs from which will dominate the gig. - Hal Horowitz
