Now a Bay area resident, Canadian songwriter Kathleen Edwards plays a hometown show under the Skipperdome supporting a new album, Billionaire, released last summer.

Produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson, the 10-track record finds the 47-year-old turning up the wit and pulling the veil back more than ever.

Her gig is a benefit for Tampa-based community radio station WMNF 88.5-FM.

Tickets to see Kathleen Edwards play Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa on Thursday, Feb. 5 are still available and start at $30.

Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
