Featuring guest appearances by Wilco guitarist Nels Cline and experimental rapper (and middle school friend) Lil Yachty, Faye Webster’s 2024 album Underdressed at the Symphony stakes out a charmingly cozy little corner of that increasingly occupied space between R&B and country music that’s so hot right now. According to the press release, the album title is inspired by Webster’s impulsive trips to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. “Going to the symphony was almost like therapy for me,” she says. “I was quite literally underdressed at the symphony because I would just decide at the last moment that that’s what I wanted to do,” Webster said in the press release. “I liked that I didn’t feel like I belonged.” Hear Webster’s self-assured and idiosyncratic music about feeling awkward and out of place live with occasional strings. Formal attire not required. The show starts 8 p.m. Feb. 18 at The Criterion, 500 E. Sheridan Ave., in Oklahoma City. Tickets are $84.50-$125. Visit criterionokc.com.
