A Fine Frenzy @ Varsity

Although there’s a sameness to her material, Frenzy frontwoman Alison Sudol is a star. She demonstrated a compelling voice and a genuineness that was very becoming. Her covers on Tuesday night were smartly chosen (though she oddly plugged Rufus Wainwright more than the Beatles when introducing “Across the Universe”).

Her own “Almost Lover” was almost perfect, aided by moody slide guitar and too-much stage fog. She encored with a new song, “If I Had You,” a country-styled tune that suggests some welcome new horizons.
