When the dust settles on this already wonderful year of music, Faye Webster’s Underdressed at the Symphony will still be smouldering at the top of 2024 best of lists.
Driven by the 26-year-old songwriter’s effortless, delicate croon, the 36 minutes on the album—dressed up in bells (“Thinking About You”), indie balladry (“Lifetime”) and a healthy dose of all-too-relatable self-awareness (“Wanna Quit All the Time”)—represent the best collection of songs to come out of the year so far.
Webster, who landed on Barack Obama’s year-end playlist in 2020, plays her second biggest Bay area crowd to date (she was at since-shutdown Innings Festival in 2023) after Upchuck opens the first show of a world tour that won’t wrap until October.
Tickets to see Faye Webster play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, March 26 appear to be sold-out.
