Abi Reimold Opening for Julien Baker at Boot & Saddle Jan. 20

The wait for Abi Reimold’s LP Wriggling via Sad Cactus Records will end shortly when it’s released next week on January 26. However, those who don’t want to wait that long should head to Boot & Saddle this evening, as she occupies the opening slot. Reimold entices with incisive lyrical imagery and a variation of instrumental tones that ranges from tranquil folk reflection, building to noisier turbulence and controlling the dynamics in a way that reveals vulnerability, while simultaneously unleashing a fierce force to be reckoned with. Tonight, Reimold will be paired with the beautifully aching honesty of Julien Baker. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
