Olive Klug w/ Frail Talk

Olive Klug plays Tractor Tavern on Tuesday, October 27, with Frail Talk opening. It's a Tuesday night in Ballard, so it's one of those mid-week shows that works well if you're already in the neighborhood or don't mind the trip out to the north end of the city.

Klug is a rising voice in the indie folk scene, and if you haven't come across her yet, The Water and Sweetest Thing are two of the tracks that have put her on the map. Her sound is built on introspective lyrics, melodic arrangements, and acoustic instrumentation—the kind of music that keeps its focus on the song and the voice rather than filling the room with noise. Frail Talk opens the bill, so you'll get two acts in one night.

The venue is Tractor Tavern, a rustic, standing-room-only spot in Ballard that leans toward folk, Americana, and indie artists. It's a 21+ venue, so you'll need a valid ID to get in. If you're planning to arrive early, keep in mind there aren't seats to grab—it's standing room only, which usually means you'll be closer to the stage than you would be at a seated theater.

Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM, so there's a full hour to get settled and grab a drink before the music kicks off. With Frail Talk opening and Olive Klug headlining, you're looking at two sets in one evening. Just remember that ID—it's 21+.
