SLCene Suggests: My Brightest Diamond at The Urban Lounge

MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Wed., Dec. 3, 9 p.m., $15

My Brightest Diamond is a “band,” but it’s really one person, the singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Shara Worden. And within that one person, there is a kaleidoscope of sounds running through, expressed through myriad projects through the years, most recently and successfully through the four albums she’s delivered under the My Brightest Diamond name. Her latest release, This Is My Hand, is more straightforward rock music than many of her electronic excursions on past albums, but her operatic voice and classical training still come through as well. A veteran of tours and recordings with The Decemberists and Sufjan Stevens, you can bet Worden’s solo show will hold all the theatricality and musical experimentation of those acts, and then some. DJ Flash & Flare opens the show.
