Amy LaVere

8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 7. Off Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue.

Amy Lavere: Memphis all-star.

Certain moments on Amy LaVere's Stranger Me sound like gentle lullabies, but that doesn't necessarily make for easy listening. Beneath the gauze of her soft, tangled voice and the resonant hum of her upright bass, LaVere crafts 3 a.m. symphonies of longing and loneliness. The plinks and clunks of a celeste welcome the listener into "Cry My Eyes Out," but those disembodied, twangy guitar notes and the constant pleading of the lyrics for salvation through the radio dial set a different tone. (The song title is kind of a giveaway, come to think of it.) Luckily, LaVere has no trouble establishing that kind of connection with her listeners.

Amy Lavere says her favorite things about St. Louis are, “the bartenders, the Italian food and the red bricks.”
