On the heels of her latest album, Home Video, singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus recently embarked on a fall tour. Joined by openers Palehound, Dacus and her bandmates descended upon Variety Playhouse for a stellar performance. Led by singer and guitarist Ellen Kempner, Palehound provided an incredibly enthralling and entertaining set. Kempner’s technical abilities on the guitar were on full display, particularly on the captivating “Cinnamon” from the Boston trio’s acclaimed debut.

To say Dacus’ set was an emotional rollercoaster would be an understatement. From the upbeat and borderline indie-pop sounds of “Brando” to slower tunes sung in a cappella, the multitude of sensations captured in the evening was profound. In an abrupt decision, Dacus decided to perform “Please Stay” which left the crowd in stunned silence. The serenade of Dacus’ singular voice amid the Variety Playhouse’s ambiance will likely be a memory treasured among many in the audience.
