CLARENCE BUCARO

Singer-songwriter Clarence Bucaro isn't an easy artist to peg down. He's called so many places home over the past several years that he's picked up little musical traces of every place he's lived. He was born in Cleveland, moved to New Orleans, then to Los Angeles, and now resides in Brooklyn. The songs on his five albums range from moody Americana to bluesy rave-ups to gritty indie rock to folksy troubadour stuff. His latest, Walls of the World, is his most rounded effort, a wide-screen look at our planet and how messed up it's become. It wraps the personal within the political, the global within the cultural. A trip to Jerusalem generally inspired Bucaro, but little pieces of world events specifically find their way into the songs – like “Two Men Down,” about the two photojournalists, including Restrepo filmmaker Tim Hetherington, who died in Libya last year. Bucaro recently premiered the song on, of all places, National Geographic's website. We're guessing this well-traveled dude has a subscription. 7 p.m. Tickets: $10. – Michael Gallucci
