Eight Gigs: Lila Rose

Sat., Nov. 21, 9 p.m., Haven Underground, $11-$15

Part activist, part multimedia artist and part singer-songwriter, Lila Rose sounds well-suited for her upcoming gig in Nevada City. In fact, she sounds like she'd be besties with Nevada City expat, folktronica artist and Burning Man performer Ayla Nereo: environmentally rooted lyrics, intriguing vocal manipulations, richly textured soundscapes. Except, Rose is darker and more cinematic. Live, she sings from inside a cage and incorporates 3-D mapping into her stage design. Poetry! Symbolism! Find out why she was named the best musician in the East Bay Express last year. 226 Broad Street in Nevada City, www.facebook.com/lilarosemusic.
