Los Angeles songsmith Bella Porter plays solo guitar to accompany a voice that is truly big and beautiful, and her clear and plaintive howls sound like birdsong from the fields of paradise. Her songs are pretty great, too. She plays the Outer Space tonight at 7 p.m. ($5). Providing support will be the excellent noir country act Moon Pine and Arcata High School student Ruby Langdon will serenade us with pop covers on her ukulele. Yay, Ruby!
