* Katie Evans, who plays North Town Coffeehouse tonight, isn't a big name by any means. But her spirited singing and acoustic guitar playing is worth checking out. Plus, how can you not like a singer from Austin, Texas, who lists God and "my momma" as her top two influences on her MySpace page, www.myspace.com/katieevansmusic?
Check her out at North Town, 128 N. First St. The show starts at 8 p.m. There is no cover.
* We listed this in last week's 10 Days Out, but for a cause like this we don't mind repeating ourselves. Raw Space in Ellensburg will host a benefit for Haiti tonight with performances by a half-dozen local acts including On Magazine Local Artist of the Year, Star Anna. The show is free but donations are encouraged -- in fact they're kind of the point.
The show goes from 4 p.m. to midnight at Raw Space, 119 E. Fourth Ave. in Ellensburg. For more information, visit www.mycentral.cwu.edu/earthquakerelief.

* Looking for inspiration from "an Asian-American, bisexual feminist who has also worked to overcome Tourette's syndrome? Central Washington University in Ellensburg has you covered.

The event is set for Central's Student Union and Recreation Center Ballroom on campus. It is free.
