Lady singer/songwriters reign supreme on the Amoeba Tour, a 17-date showcase that crisscrosses the country until June. (The beloved record-store chain, located in Berkeley, San Francisco, and Hollywood, recently launched a label, as well.) Headliner Kate Walsh hails from England and crafts delicate, Joni Mitchell-esque ditties that made last year's album Tim's House one of KCRW's brightest gems. She's joined by Amoeba Records' own Brandi Shearer, a singer/songwriter with a lush, husky voice who was spotlighted by VH1 after her Close to Dark album hit shelves last year. Quincy Coleman rounds out tonight's show, which is a fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society featuring hosts Teri Garr and Ed Begley Jr.
