Eliza Hardy Jones branches out into the solo stratosphere this evening at Boot Saddle. Jones, who has already made her mark on the Philly music scene in working with Deli favorites Buried Beds, Strand of Oaks, and Nightlands, steps to the forefront, marrying her classical training with a futuristic spin. “Criminal” the first impression from her forthcoming solo debut Because Become (which will be released on January 15 via Admiral Byrd Records) demonstrates a composed determination. Catch her tonight backed by a full live band of exceptional local talent before she heads out on tour with Grace Potter, serving dual duty as an opener and within her band. The soulful R&B sounds of Jesse Hale Moore (Nightlands/Auctioneer) cracks open the proceedings. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
