Get Off The Couch, a singer/songwriter showcase at the Hideout, makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with friends at a house party. And that suits Laura Joy perfectly. She starts by playing Moving On, one of her many breakup songs. Other songs’ subject matter ranges from spiders and moths to Miles Davis, all in a voice and style that remind one of Ani Difranco, another indie folk songstress. The showcase’s format limited Ms. Joy to four songs, but that was more than enough to let her talent shine and make you crave more of her heartfelt music.
