Singer/songwriter Aly Spaltro – formerly based in Portland, Maine, and known to fans as Lady Lamb the Beekeeper – is blowing up fast. She played at promoter Billy Ruane’s rock ‘n’ roll wake last month, won Folk Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards earlier this month and performs at the Lizard Lounge tonight.

Oh, and she’s already managed to get Amanda Palmer’s stamp of approval. After seeing Spaltro’s BMA set, Palmer tweeted, “chick blew me away live.”

The exclamation of love was absolutely warranted: She blew a lot of people away that night.

The only thing off was winning for Folk Artist.

“I don’t consider myself folk,” Spaltro said during a visit to the Herald. “I’m really honored with the win, but I’m not folk. I don’t know what genre I’m in.” [Boston Herald]
