Rose Polenzani Comes Home
(Kissing Micha Barton, Micha's subway billboard actually)
Ex-Chicagoan Rose Polenzani is now a native Bostonian (actually Somerville or as we used to say Slumerville). She returns to Chicago this week with a show at Uncommon Ground on Saturday the 21st at 11pm.
First and foremost Rose is a great singer songwriter, she's also active in the gay and lesbian music community. She's recorded for Amy Ray's (Indigo Girls) Daemon label, as well as for Rykodisc. Her last release was 2004's self-released CD August. Rose is funny, charming, silly and at times poignant live; this should be an intimate show at one of Chicago's best acoustic venues.

On a slightly related note here's one of my favorite songs from last year. It's The Pernice Brothers' song "Somerville".
