The Read
Rundle occupies the narrow ground between singer-songwriter intimacy and genuinely heavy music — open tunings, slow builds, guitar tone that arrives like weather. Her records have moved between hushed piano confession and full crushing volume, and the live show is usually where the two collapse into each other. It can be a lot. That is the intent. Exit/In is the correct room for it: a rock club with enough history to have absorbed this kind of volume many times, and small enough that the quiet passages feel like eavesdropping. Expect a respectful, attentive crowd — the sort that stops talking, which is rare on a Saturday. Not a casual night out, but a memorable one.
The Room
Exit/In
2208 Elliston Pl
Opened October 23, 1971. Jimmy Buffett auditioned on the half-finished stage and was hired on the spot. Steve Martin played here so often in the mid-70s that he credits those nights as making him 'really, really funny.'
