Concert: Sam Weber & Lily Talmers

Valentine’s Day double-header: Sam Weber is a Portland-based songwriter whose disciplined songwriting and musicianship can stun but feel as effortless as sleight-of-hand. Sharing bills with Feist and Anna Tivel, and earning songwriting credits from Grammy winner Madison Cunningham, Weber sings of the complexity of human existence: eternal in a fragmenting modern world. Lily Talmers is a songwriter keen on capturing the unique interplay of sorrow and joy. Raised in Michigan and now in Brooklyn, her lyricism is spiritual and strange—vivid images ranging from sludge-covered and dismal to childlike and wondrous. She draws from 60's icons like Leonard Cohen.
