Kat Edmonson’s latest, 2012’s Way Down Low, sounds like a record of yesteryear—not in the production, but in the singer’s vocals: The Austin-based songbird makes jazzy pop songs with a vintage twist. Her voice is both fresh and timeless, at times so light it sounds as if it could float away from the music at any second. The Triple Door. 7:30 p.m. $20. All ages. AZARIA PODPLESKY
