Like a surgeon with a fish knife, when Claudia Nygaard writes a song she scrapes off the scales, pulls the flesh back, and “aims right for the more...0 bone”. She is a mesmerizing storyteller and cinematic lyricist, and the songs on Lucky Girl reveal a daredevil’s vulnerability. There is no self-censorship about what she should say or how she should say it on this album. She just opens up, and the listener falls in. Tickets $20 in adavnce $25 at the door.
