Scottish-born singer KT Tunstall (who plays the Bluebird Theater tonight with Robert Francis and Miggs) is, essentially, a one-woman band. Utilizing her own voice and a looping pedal, Tunstall creates layers of sound and faux-instrumentation to back her powerful crooning.

Being touted as her "solo show" tour, the vocal multi-instrumentalist is back to focusing on just that, when in the past she has toured with a bigger band. Last week saw the release of KT Tunstall's latest effort, the Scarlet Tulip EP, a handful of new tracks that should more than satiate fans of her scratchy and soulful vocal talent and expressive lyrics. This show is sixteen and up, and tickets are $22.50-25.00. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m.
