Having refined her musical act since the age of eight, Nicole Gordon is no stranger to the stage. Tonight, the LA-based singer/songwriter brings her unique brand of Americana to the Echo, with songs that somehow sound both brand new and sweetly familiar. Her vocals could carry the show accompanied by a single washboard and the sound of spoons clanking against an old man's knee, but skillful guitar picking and charming organ contributions don't hurt. Gordon has drawn favorable comparisons to such varied songstresses as Sarah McLachlan and Shakira, but such far-ranging praise only affirms her astonishing range. – Phil Kropoth
