Fans of Jolie Holland's old group, the Be Good Tanyas, will find much to love in Ora Cogan, a Vancouver-based folk singer whose ballads are tinged with the ghostly grace of an old 78. Her quivering vocals and delicate guitar playing dispense with the freaky embellishment favored among many neo-folkies. Tender and spacious, Cogan's unfussy arrangements represent "roots music" in the best sense. Opener Gabriel Saloman normally makes unwieldy noise with his primary project Yellow Swans, but he takes a more subdued approach tonight when he appears with Aja Rose.
