If you're looking for a real standout in the singer/songwriter classification, Caitlin Rose just might be your woman. The press has been raving about her shows at SXSW, paying special attention to her throwback country style with a modern edge. The Nashville, Tenn.-based singer recently released her second record on ATO, a label known for a pretty solid slate of performers like David Gray. I'd recommend checking out this show for a easy breezy Tuesday, but if you're looking for a little more punch in your night, Vietnam is at Soda Bar, Dirty Sirens return to the Griffin and Broken Water perform at the Void.
