Saturday: Singer-songwriter Kat Wright and her trio will appear at the Knickerbocker in Westerly Saturday night. Wright’s voice has been described as “both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and nuanced, a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse.” Sounds good to me!
