The title of Eilen Jewell’s latest full-length, Queen of the Minor Key,

The title of Eilen Jewell’s latest full-length, Queen of the Minor Key, could not be more spot-on. The Boise-based singer’s bluesy vocals, paired with a blend of surf-rock and rockabilly and including lyrics like “I think I see you once in a while/Practice looking like I don’t care,” help her reign over all things morose and melancholy. With JD Hobson. Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave. N.W., 789-3599. 8 p.m. $15. 21 and over. AZARIA C. PODPLESKY
