Sometimes all you need is a single song to understand an artist’s importance. “Look at Miss Ohio” is that for alt-country folkie , who plays the tonight.
At this year’s , “Miss Ohio” was covered by at least three or four bands — if not five or six, including the make-shift fiddle outfits playing on street corners and down by the river. Is there more to Welch and her impressive, atmospheric catalog? Absolutely. But this is a great place to start.
Welch is a force of nature in concert, and so we’re giving you the opportunity to see her tonight — gratis. Plug in the necessities right here, and we’ll let you know if we’re sending you on a one-way trip to “Ohio” later this afternoon.
