TUESDAY, MARCH 3
Emily Scott Robinson w/ Lily DeTaeye,
The Mill, Iowa City,
8 p.m., $10-14 It can be easy to stay home
rather than go to a singer-songwriter show. Especially on a Tuesday—what with Netflix, Hulu, comfy pants, work the next day, etc. Songwriter shows require silence, a certain amount of attention and a real desire to listen to the words. This is daunting when you don’t know who the artist is, but when a listening crowd connects with a songwriter, it can
be the most fulfilling concert experience. For my money, Emily Scott Robinson is a great candidate to take a shot on. Her writing is modern and engaging, and it has a good sense of humor about it. These are well-crafted stories that sound like they could be on the radio if they, perhaps, weren’t quite so good. (Sick radio burn, Brian. Thanks!). She fits in right alongside modern country-ish female songwriters like Kacey Musgraves, and she certainly deserves to be in that conversation. Joined by breakout Iowa songwriter Lily DeTaeye, The Mill offers plenty of reasons to leave the remote at home on this Tuesday. —Brian Johannesen
