Pop Music

Pop-folk chanteuse Victoria Williams not only delivers a batch of new original songs in her latest album, “Water to Drink,” but also applies her idiosyncratic pipes to such standards as “Young at Heart” and “Until the Real Thing Comes Along.” Her husband Mark Olson opens for her at the El Rey, and don’t be surprised if their dog wanders on stage too.

* Victoria Williams, with Mark Olson, today at the El Rey Theatre, 5515 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. 8 p.m. $22.50. (323) 936-4790.
