August 6. In the mid ‘90s you just couldn’t turn on MTV or mainstream radio without hearing Joan Osborne’s smash “One of Us.” The hit was inescapable, topping the US singles chart for two weeks and leading to Grammy nominations for the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter. A Lilith Fair favorite, Osborne, who plays this rare small-room date at the Bull and Buddha lounge, recently completed a new album with local producer Henry Hirsch (Lenny Kravitz). It would seem safe to predict she’ll be trying out some new tunes as well as revisiting some old faves. 8pm. $40. Poughkeepsie. (845) 337-4848; www.bullandbuddha.com.
