[CANCELLED: October 13, 2025] Goat Girl / Maria BC

I saw Goat Girl open for Parquet Courts back in 2018 and I really enjoyed their set.  I liked how they played a variety of styles, sometimes playing very loudly, but other times having a kind of drunken country feel.  THey were fun and I was interested in seeing them again.

But then in August they announced that they had to cancel the whole tour:

Hello everyone We’re really sad to share that, due to personal reasons, we won’t be able to go ahead with our North American tour next month. This was not an easy decision, and we’re truly sorry to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us. We were so excited to come back to the US and Canada – it’s been a while, and it means so much to know you’ve been waiting to see us play. This isn’t goodbye, we fully intend to be back as soon as we can. Thank you for your understanding, and for all the love and support you continue to give us.

Maria BC is an American ambient musician.  She sings over quiet, slightly creepy music–catchy melodies with unusual instrumentation.  Interesting and pretty different from Goat Girl.

I assume they’ll be back again.

[DID NOT ATTEND: September 30, 2022] Stella Donnelly / Maria BC

I know of Stella Donnelly from NPR Music–both All Songs Considered and her Tiny Desk Concert.  She is an Australian singer with delightfully pointed lyrics and a wicked charm.

I was quite keen on her for a while, but y the time this show was posted I had kind of forgotten what it was I liked so much about her.   If I didn’t have two other shows to go to in the next few days, I probably would have gone, but as it was, I had to save up my nights out.

Maria BC is an Ohio-born classically trained singer who sings over ethereal guitars and organs.  Her music is quiet (deliberately so).  And I think in a live setting she would be transportive.  However, I didn’t listen very carefully to her bandcamp release so it sounded just okay to me.
