When Kathleen Edwards first emerged a decade ago, it was hard to imagine she'd ever escape Lucinda Williams' shadow. But the Canadian singer/songwriter long ago transcended such comparisons, forging a distinctive artistic identity with music as vivid as it is coldly beautiful. Her new album "Voyageur" (Zoe/Rounder Records) benefits from production by Bon Iver's Justin Vernon, who contributes to the cool ambience with his customary atmospheric textures. Edwards plays Tuesday at Carrboro's Cat's Cradle, on a bill with Hannah Georgas. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $20 advance, $23 day of show. See catscradle.com for details.
