Last summer, Doria Roberts appeared under the banner "Twat Rocker" on the cover of lesbian interest magazine Velvet Park and proclaimed herself a "pissed-off, rock 'n' roll, dyke-nigger bitch." Following the self-made folkstresses who've come before her, Roberts owns her own label, works the festival circuit, and tours constantly. Lesbians, lock up your girlfriends. This lean mean folk-blues machine -- who's been compared to Tracy Chapman, Ani DiFranco, and Woody Guthrie -- comes to West Palm Beach strapped and ready to strum alongside slam poet Staceyann Chin and local favorite Diane Ward Band. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tuesday, November 4, at Respectable Street. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 on the day of the show. Call 800-594-TIXX for tickets or 561-832-9999 for more information.
