Next, singer/songwriter Rachael Tamagata is performing on Saturday at the Sons of Hermann Hall. The adult alternative artist has released four studio albums and is best known for singles "Worn Me Down," "Letter Read" and "River."

She has that deliberate, I’ll-sing-the-note-when-I’m-ready pacing that helped make Amy Winehouse great, and before her Billie Holliday."
