Marissa Nadler 7/20/14 Outerspace

Moved from the ballroom to the more intimate Outerspace, Nadler on guitars and vocals accompanied by Helene Espvall on cello and keys. Massachusetts native Nadler is a quiet folkie with decent guitar skills, she even broke out an acoustic 12-string for good effect. Shy, with little inter-song banter about the songs detracted from the show. Nadler's vocals were indistinct and monotonous which left little upside to this show. A recent interview with Nadler in the magazine Wire explored her interest in traditional music which seemed absent on this evening.
