Tom Goss's latest album Back to Love finds this D.C.-based singer/songwriter/guitarist positively giddy, reflecting both his current happiness – he's engaged to marry his boyfriend later this year – and that of lovers around him. It’s a remarkable, cohesive collection of mostly pop love songs, several of which seem custom-made to be sung at Goss' wedding, most notably first single “Till the End.” Goss sings in a clear voice, a tenor full of earnest vulnerability that matches his music's predominant aesthetic: exposed, unadorned and rather fragile, steeped in pop and folk, but informed by country and a trace of blues. Thursday, Aug. 27, at 9 p.m. IOTA Club and Café, 2832 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. Tickets are $12. Call 703-522-8340 or visit www.iotaclubandcafe.com.
