Happy Rhodes

Rock/pop

She hasn't put out an album in six years, but Happy Rhodes still has a firm grasp on her Philly fan base. The 39-year-old singer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist — who's been compared to everyone from Kate Bush to Portuguese fado singer Cristina Branco — is known for melding folk with ambient/electronic sounds, something that sets her apart from the current girl-with-a-guitar crowd. With her four-octave range and quirky songwriting style, Rhodes is charmingly (and doggedly) original.

Sat., Jan. 29, 7 and 10 p.m., $20, Tin Angel, 20 S. Second St., 215-928-0770.
