STEPPING
UP From mid-nineties midnight shows at Brownies and the Mercury
Lounge, the singer and songwriter Peter Salett has used his
time on the downtown circuit to hone his rich voice and his
emotionally transparent pop sensibility. Last April he enjoyed
spending the night on the Bowery Ballroom's grand stage in
a show celebrating the completion of his self-produced album, "Heart
of Mine," backed by such musicians as the lap steel guitarist
Don Piper and the organist Joe McGinty. Salett returns to the
same spot this week for a rare solo acoustic performance as the
opening act for former Soul Coughing front man M. Doughty. Catch
him now, while he's on the rise.
