Lucy Wainwright Roche and Linsday Fuller Natasha's, 112 Esplanade, 7 p.m., $12/15. From the venue website: “Lucy Wainwright Roche has been compared to Joni Mitchell and Patti Griffin by NPR -- was born in NYC into an influential musical family. She rebelled against the family business by teaching elementary school for several years before getting involved in music. Since 2007, Lucy has released two EPs and a studio album, toured the U.S., Canada and Europe, and has performed with a number of musicians including the Indigo Girls, Neko Case, and Over the Rhine. Lucy is known for her crystal clear voice and straightforward, funny stage presence...Lindsay Fuller's deep mournful vocal style, which has garnered comparisons to Patti Smith, Gillian Welch, and Nick Cave, sounds as though it comes from a place of necessity and nowhere else. The result is a rowdy yet affecting telling of stories involving all the things that make the beauty and violence of the human experience so damn curious. Joining Lindsay will be Kaia Wilson (the Butchies, Team Dresch).”

Eliza Rickman Natasha's, 112 Esplanade, 9 p.m., $7. From the venue website: “Somewhere, a child is missing his or her two-octave toy piano, perhaps discarded to a thrift store or neighborhood garage sale without hesitation when they grew out of it. One person's junk is another's treasure, as almost on a whim, L.A.'s Eliza Rickman picked up the youthfully janky instrument, and it now remains the centerpiece of her arrangements - the inner-child's innocence to her big-girl, Feist-like vocal gallops and seasoned string arrangements.”
