It’s a good week for folk music in Orlando. On one hand, you’ve got the legendary Judy Collins playing at the Plaza Live. Then over at Framework, there’s this bill of new, queer voices rejuvenating those same chords.
Lawrence, Kansas, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist June Henry is coming to Florida for a string of dates this week. The young musician’s sound is a ragged tumble of tuneful passion that is as informed by folk-punk as by the dark, introspective home recordings of Lou Barlow. Henry’s lyrics tell tales of queerness, gender dysphoria, love lost and gained, and resistance.
Just as notable is the opener for these dates, X-Dirty Fingers. XDF’s Taryn Kody is leaving Florida imminently, so these shows, including Wednesday’s gig at Framework with Marble Berry Seeds, Rumbletramp and I’ve Never Been Here Before, are a last chance to bask in her creativity and bid a fond farewell.
8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8, Framework Craft Coffee House, 1201 N. Mills Ave., instagram.com/frameworkcoffeehouse, $15.
