Star Anna is the Ellensburg native with an introspective onstage demeanor and a humongous voice, which she wraps around high-drama Americana compositions plucked out by her band the Laughing Dogs. The title of her 2011 album, Alone in This Together, gets to the heart of what makes her special: Singing from deep inside herself (sometimes while hugging herself tight), she makes music that’ll resonate with anyone with ears (which means the first word of her name isn’t a boast, it’s a fact). Opening the show: fellow Americana purveyors Kasey Anderson and the Honkies, and Open Country Joy. (Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave NW, www.tractortavern.com, 9:30 pm, $12, 21+)
