Breakup records are their own genre. Records about the specific administrative indignity of dismantling a shared life — who keeps which furniture, how to be polite in a doorway — are much rarer, and this Australian songwriter has made more than one of them.
The writing is almost uncomfortably plain. No metaphor doing the heavy lifting, just exact sentences about things that actually happen, delivered in a voice that stays steady while the content does not. Live, the quiet passages are the loud part; a theatre full of people going completely silent is a specific sound and this is a set that produces it repeatedly. Jordan Patterson opens.
A Tuesday at the North Park theatre, doors at seven, music at eight.
October 20, Observatory North Park, 2891 University Ave. Bring the person you would not have to explain yourself to afterwards. The songwriter rooms in this county run on a circuit most people never notice until somebody they love is playing one.
