Nicole Atkins

 

The massively talented Miss Nicole Atkins recently paid homage to power pop greats Big Star with this lovely cover of “Kangaroo.”

Nicole will be in Madison for a show at the High Noon Saloon on February 23 (tickets here).   If you can tell us what other solo artist made “Kangaroo” a regular addition to his live sets before his unexpected 1997 death in the same city in which Big Star was founded, you’ll win a pair of tickets to Nicole’s show.  Post your comments below.  The first poster with the correct answer wins.  Good luck!
