Courtney Barnett<\/strong><\/a> is one of the more engaging new musical artists in recent memory.\u00a0 Her songs and performances are mesmerizing.\u00a0 In addition to writing great melodies and delivering them with unique and addicting inflections, her lyrics are riddled with wry and evocative insights and slights-of-tongue.\u00a0 Her great new album,\u00a0Sometimes I Sit And Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit<\/strong><\/em>, features one of the Best Songs of 2015<\/strong>, Depreston<\/strong><\/em>, and a host of other well-wrought and varied gems.<\/p>\n

But it is live where Ms. Barnett<\/strong> and her talented band thrive particularly well.\u00a0 To get a feel, watch below her recent set at NPR Music’s SXSW<\/strong> showcase.\u00a0 An impressive set indeed.\u00a0 Barnett and band will swing through California next month (check dates HERE<\/strong><\/a>), but her LA shows at the Roxy<\/strong> sold out immediately.\u00a0 Catch her if you can.<\/p>\n
