While her performance in Houston was simply her, her guitar and a looper (a jam man, which she uses to take full advantage of her wide vocal range and harmonize with herself), Pestle also plays the piano but emphasizes that she is self-taught: "I don't think I've really gotten to the point where I can say I'm a pianist, but I do it anyway."

She laughed, and we smiled.

Writing will be Pestle's primary concern for the near future. She has been playing her current set list for about five years, she said. We look forward to new content but, in the meantime, will enjoy her current album and be envious of her four-day stint in San Antonio. She'll be playing today, tomorrow and Saturday at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Enjoy the Riverwalk, we say, then come back to the H, where the real party is.
