For more ideas, check out our top picks of the week.\n\nFRIDAY LIVE MUSIC\n\nZoé Basha with Clyde and the Milltailers\nEnchanting, poetic, soulful, polished—these are the words that come to mind as I listen to Dublin-based French American artist Zoé Basha, who describes her music as \"Americana brewed in Ireland.\" Basha finishes up her first US headlining tour in the Pacific Northwest, driving cross-country and playing in cities she cut her teeth busking in when she was younger. Released independently in April of last year, her debut album _Gamble_ earned her two spots on Grammy Award shortlists: one for Best Folk Album and another for Best American Roots Performance. I'm low-key obsessed with the video for her song \"Dublin Street Corners,\" which includes the playful description, \"A guy I once knew said he’d write me a country song. He never did, so here’s one for him.\" **SHANNON LUBETICH** _\n(The Showdown, Hosford-Abernethy, $18-$23.10)_",
