Wednesday December 4, 2019 07:30 pm EST
Son Little, the singer and songwriter born Aaron Livingston, is the easygoing musical alchemist of our time. He is a conjurer, and much like those of his heroes Stevie Wonder and Jimi Hendrix, his songs are deconstructions of the diaspora of American R & B. Deftly he weaves different eras of the sou...

EVAN STEPP & THE PINERS, BEN TRICKEY
Thursday November 21, 2019 08:30 pm EST
Ben Trickey is a layman's existentialist, a dive-bar philosopher both driven and paralyzed by a deep fascination with life's greatest question. In his songs, he perpetually contemplates his purpose, and with a wounded, wary croon, his dark indie-folk struggles for hope in the face of desolation. Min...

Inside, the energy only lessens a notch. Geordie Greep, black midi’s curiously voiced singer, and guitarist Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin sit with guitars on their laps, occasionally flickering out riffs to illustrate a point. The repartee between the pair, and bassist Cameron Picton and drummer Morgan Si...

Abby GoGo, Safety Net, Willful Boys, Strobobean
Thursday November 14, 2019 08:00 pm EST
It's not quite appropriate to pigeonhole Abby Go Go as a shoegazer band, and the garage rock shoe doesn't fit, either. Rather, twin brothers Bon and Jon Allinson and company traverse an expansive middle ground where '60s pop sensibilities are tempered by elusive feelings of melancholy and elation. T...

Stonefield, Goon
Sunday November 10, 2019 08:00 pm EST
It all started in a shed.
More specifically, it started in a shed on a family hobby farm in a tiny rural township in Victoria, Australia.
The four Findlay sisters, who’d go on to become the earthen psych-rock opal that is Stonefield, had been granted their wish of a drum kit by their parents, whose ...
