Courtney Barnett

Courtney Barnett plays The Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom on Tuesday 13 October, her only Glasgow date of the tour. It's a headline show, and it's already sold out, so if you're looking for tickets you'll be hunting for returns rather than buying from the box office.

Barnett is an Australian singer-songwriter who's built her following by folding elements of country and anti-folk into her songwriting, and she's now regarded as one of the brightest singer-songwriters of her generation. That anti-folk side comes through in the way she writes — conversational, observational, and often quite dry — while the country influence shows up in the melodic leanings and the way she carries a tune. It's a combination that puts her in a league of her own, and hearing it live is the best way to get a feel for how it all fits together.

She's not taking the stage alone, either. Support comes from Body Type, so there's a full night of music rather than just one set. The whole thing kicks off at 7:00 PM, and with the Barrowlands being a sold-out house, it'll be a full room for her.

Tickets range from free to £33.75, and the show starts at 7:00 PM on Tuesday 13 October.
