Eight Gigs: Lisa Loeb

I don’t need to take this opportunity to go on and on about how undervalued Lisa Loeb is, do I? Because, you know, 20-plus years after the fact, she’s still the only artist to have a Billboard No. 1 single while not signed to a label. And that particular song, “Stay,” was made immortal by a little movie called Reality Bites. And also, she inspired approximately one whole generation of glasses-wearing girls. Do your former bookish 15-year-old self a favor and catch this queen as she plays through a deep catalog riddled with gems, her other hits “I Do” and “Do You Sleep?” among them. 2708 J Street, www.lisaloeb.com.
