Lesbian rocker Laura Tsaggaris releases her new album “Everyman” with a show at the Hamilton (600 14th St., NW) on Saturday night at 8:30 p.m.
Grammy Award-winning producer Jamie Candiloro, who also produced R.E.M. and Willie Nelson, focuses “Everyman” on Tsaggaris’ alternative country vocals and guitar playing. The album aims to bind together everyone, regardless of sex, gender, race, sexual orientation or socioeconomic class, with similar struggles and fears experienced by “everyman.” The show features a five-piece rock band that will play the entire new album and some selections from her prior albums “Proof” and “Keep Talking.”
Tickets are $20. For more information, visit eventfarm.com.
