Though late last year’s True wasn’t as stirring as the 2009 set Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams, the EP did prove that Beyoncé’s little sister Solange is as quirky as she looks and sounds. You just never know in what direction she’ll go next on record — from old-school soul to ‘80s R&B, say — and she’s every bit as unpredictable live. Though at least the last time she was in town, for the Sweetlife Festival this past spring at Merriweather Post Pavilion, she displayed typical Knowles family charisma. The intimate Lisner Auditorium should be a good one for Solange to connect and show her range.
Tonight, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m. Lisner Auditorium, The George Washington University, 730 21st St. NW. Tickets are $20 to $35. Call 202-994-6851 or visit lisner.org.
