Eight Gigs: Xochitl
Sat., April 23, 5:30 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $7-$12
She’s not just a girl with an acoustic guitar anymore. Sacramento native and perpetually touring musician Xochitl (pronounced “so-chee”) grows with every album, and surely her new EP What I’ve Become will be no different. In the past, Xochitl was known for charming pop songs with witty lyrics. With her last EP, Lion Heart, she explored a deeper tone to her voice. And with What I’ve Become, she promises songs that feel more personal and honest. At the record release show, she’ll have a full band and local singer-songwriter Emily Kollars in the opening slot. 2708 J Street, www.xochitlofficial.net.
