Experimental cellist Valerie Kuehne free show tonight at Wax Trax

Just got word of an intriguing free show tonight at Wax Trax records. Experimental cellist songwriter Valerie Kuehne is playing at 5 p.m. I hadn’t heard of her before, but a listen to the tracks on Kuehne’s MySpace page reveals an intriguing talent — nice voice, fascinating cello style and some pretty weird songs. Think of her as kind of a female Ian Cooke with a more avant garde bent and less pretty songs and you’re approaching the right neighborhood. Anyway, it’s last minute and all, but it is free (donations accepted, though) and early — you could catch her set, and still be out of there in time for dinner before you head out to do your usual exciting Friday night things.
