In support of her critically-acclaimed No. 1 album, “Golden
Hour,” Kacey Musgraves hits the stage atop Nob Hill. Hailed as
one of the most talented songwriters of her generation, Musgraves
melds sardonic wit with deceptively simple melodies that belie
the complexity of the material. But “Golden Hour” was the album
that definitively turned Musgraves into the crossover country star
of 2018. Her gentle renditions of love-drunk daydreams simply
transcend the cookie-cutter country competition—and transform
many skeptics into card-carrying fans of her
fresh twist on twang. Feb. 16, 8 p.m. Tickets
$45–$65. The Masonic, 1111 California St.,
San Francisco. 415/776-7457.
