Soccer Mommy with Hana Vu
Nashville-raised singer-songwriter Sophie Allison, better known by her stage name Soccer Mommy, always manages to surprise and impress me with her introspective lyrics paired with irresistible pop hooks. I was introduced to her via her cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire,” which enhances the melancholy yearning of the Boss’s enduring classic, and last year, I couldn’t stop listening to “Shotgun,” an unexpectedly romantic ode to the everyday mundanities of a long-term relationship. Her fourth studio album, Evergreen, finds her grappling with the grief of a deep personal loss—though there are still moments of playfulness, like “Abigail,” a wistful paean to everyone’s favorite violet-maned Stardew Valley love interest. Up-and-coming LA artist Hana Vu will join her as the opener for her Showbox appearance. JULIANNE BELL
