A staple of trendy coffee shops, chic lounges and melodramatic television dramas for years, not to mention a certain Sidekick writer’s lonely college dorm room on Friday nights, English singer Beth Orton’s 1999 album “Central Reservation” is still a classic of lush beauty and gloomy charm. We called her blend of strummed acoustics and electronic ambience folktronica back then, but we all made a lot of other questionable choices in the nineties too, so we’ll let that one slide. Her last record, 2006’ “Comfort of Strangers,” was another showcase of Orton’s unique and chilling voice. She performs tomorrow night. 9 p.m. $20- $25. Calderwood Courtyard, Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave. Boston. 800-440-6975. mfa.orgBoston Globe
