A simpler time, South by Southwest 2018 proved a perfect setting for the devastatingly refreshing, piano-based blast of Anna McClellan’s Father/Daughter Records debut Yes and No. The Omaha, Nebraska, indie-folk emotion mixer returns with 2020 LP I saw first light (and a new August “songs and snippets” Bandcamp collection) to kick off her autumn tour in Austin. An ideally triangulated lineup loops in the consistently notable and unpredictable singer-songwriting of Lomelda and prismatic alt-pop of Felt Out, who frequent the hosting kolache shop as both customers and performers.
