The Patti Fiasco at Town Square Tavern

(a portion of this piece was published by Planet JH Weekly)If you haven’t met The Patti Fiasco, let me introduce you to the project that has been turning my head the most as if late. Raucous female-fronted energy and edgy songwriting via Encampment, Wyoming-native Alysia Kraft, this five-piece (including two Star Valley natives) is ready to rumble. Epic electric dobro, thick bass grooves, and colorful three-part harmony make for a sweet yet saucy combination that has a black magic of its own. Take in the whole show and realize why their new album Small Town Lights was voted number one in the Ft. Collins peer awards. Don't hesitate on a late night, just go for it. The Patti Fiasco, 10 p.m. Friday at Town Square Tavern. $5. 733-3886.
