Lisa Marie Presley Performs at The VERVE

With all the hoopla that has surrounded her, it’s easy to forget that Lisa Marie Presley is at heart a simple Southern girl whose earliest musical memories are of obsessively listening to 45’s in her bedroom at Graceland and of her dad catching her singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror at the age of three.

The Memphis-born Presley reclaims those roots on her new album Storm and Grace — an Americana-inspired showcase for her songwriting talent and smoldering alto voice.

Produced with elegant restraint by 12-time Grammy Award-winner T Bone Burnett, Storm and Grace is a marked departure from Presley’s previous albums, 2003′s gold-certified To Whom It May Concern and 2005′s Now What, which both debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.

Tickets are $20 in advance (www.VioletJam.com); $25 at the door. Must be at least 21 years of age.

Doors opens at 7 and show begins at 9 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 10.
