Eight Gigs: Butterscotch

To introduce Butterscotch by saying she was a finalist in 2007 on America’s Got Talent is to undersell how talented she really is (no disrespect to the puppet guy, Terry Fator, who won that year). The lady’s a one-woman symphony, beat boxing her percussion while playing guitar or piano and singing like a gosh darn songbird. If the powers that be were trying to initially push Butterscotch in the direction of commercial R&B, Scotch Tape, a recent series of EPs, showcases a move toward the more avant-garde, which suits her better. This promises to be a rare, highly intimate show; don’t miss this wildly talented artist. 521 First Street in Davis, www.butterscotchmusic.com.
