The singer-songwriters from Los Angeles were the spotlights last Thursday night at IOTA in Arlington.

Henry Wolfe opened the night with a set that showcased his strong, talented songwriting capabilities. He played a mix of some old, some new, a Randy Newman cover, and track off of his latest record Linda Vista like Used to Be, The Third Act (in which he introduced as a song he thought about at a wedding through the line “If you’re thinking of leaving, then you’re already gone”), and closing out the set with his most popular single off the record, Someone Else. Through a microphone, guitar, and harmonica, you’ve got one very talented singer-songwriter in Henry Wolfe.

Eleni Mandell closed the show putting the latest record, I Can See the Future, on blast. Mandell shared that she wanted to have a chart of all the men that have inspired her songwriting but unfortunately for us, that was not a part of the show. Instead we got to listen to the songs inspired by said men to which a member of the crowd yelled out, “Tell us about the republican!” which resulted in Mandell sharing that she did, indeed, date a republican. Mandell said she wanted to be funny and when she wasn’t singing, her dry sense of humor was indeed funny. Great sets by both artists.
