“Believe,” the last single by San Jose singer-songwriter Socorra, was a nugget of pure melancholy pop in the spirit of “Dreams,” by the Cranberries. But on Muddy Water, her new EP, the powerful vocalist trades in the alt-rock chord progressions for a bluesy riff pulled straight out of the Mississippi Delta. Has she left pop behind for good? Pick up a copy of the EP at the release show to find out. The Anachronists and Adira Sharkey share the bill.

This year’s fall installment of the SoFA Street Fair marks a number of milestones. It’s the 10th edition since the festival returned in 2014 after a 10-year hiatus. Interestingly enough, the original SoFA Street Fair ran from 1994 to 2004. You can do the math there. The free live music runs until 9pm. With four outdoor stages and 11 indoor venues, there will be no shortage of great tunes to take in. Be sure to stop by the women-powered XX Stage to see a number of great female-fronted San Jose acts, including Soccora, Sweet Hayah, Steely Nash and Chloey Zelma.

SoFA Street Fair
Sun, 2pm, Free
SoFA District, San Jose
