Kathryn Koch's voice is soulfully manic as it teeters between old time dust-ups to folk music of a more nascent relevance. It's this vocal enthusiasm that gives Red Headed Stepchild's two-man line-up its punch and giddy-up. Fiddle, upright bass, piano and harmonica find their way onto the band's 2005 CD, "Some Sunny Day," but that's about it. Urgency shines best in the stark beauty.
Originally from Buffalo, Koch and guitarist David Nanni finally wised up and headed south to Nashville. The duo stopped just long enough to unpack and make a dent in the fertile singer/songwriter scene, then turned around and hit the road, the same one that'll bring 'em back north.
Red Headed Stepchild and guest Linda Stout play Friday, June 8, at Daily Perks Coffeehouse, 389 Gregory Street, 271-2340, 8 p.m., $7, all ages.
