Kelly Ruth was mentioned here early this past spring, as she took up a residency at the East Room, and subsequently transformed it. She had a hand in involving a number of local artists that we love (Honey Locust and Phantom Farmer, to name a few) for the month of April, and has earned a place in our hearts for that, because beneath our thin candy shell runs a neverending reel of new and emerging artists. She’s been playing her sweetly vintage folk rock around Nashville since, with her next performance this evening at fooBar as part of Palaver Records weekly showcase. The evening’s well-curated lineup also includes Juliana Daily and Midnight Pilot; it’s going to be a great show. Watch Ruth perform "Blue-eyed Lover" below and get a concentrated hit of her throwback style (and see if she doesn’t rival Zooey Deshanel in adorable dissaffection.) Tonight’s show starts at 9pm, and cover is $5. -Terra James-Jura
