Lots of other music is happening, but these are the ones I’d tell friends about. Sunday 7/20: At the Stars at Alley Katz at 6 $8 These Brit pop loving locals excel at jangly guitars, passionate vocals, well-written songs and catchy riffs. I’ve seen them several times already and they never disapoint. Thursday 7/24 We Know, Plato! at Ramakins at 730/Mermaid Skeletons at Firehouse Theater for Silent Movie Revival 9:00 $0 Tough call with two excellent local bands playing. We Know, Plato! has a haunting indie piano rock sound with vocal harmonies that’ll suck you right in. Melancholy, but in a good way… Mermaid Skeletons, with their acoustic orchestral sounds and Josh Hryciak’s beautiful voice impress any time, but as accompaniment to classic silent film, I’m expecting a sublime evening. Maybe I can do both shows? Friday 7/25 Jonathan Vassar CD Release Show, David Shultz & the Skyline and Josh Small at the Camel 8:00 $6 There should be a lot of superb acoustic music and great voices at this show. Saturday 7/26 Now Sleepyhead CD Release Show at The Camel 8:00 $6 Now Sleepyhead…kind of ambient, kind of shoe gazing (a sound I love) and several amazing voices. BONUS: the six bucks gets you the new CD!!! Also playing will be My Friend Kyle, Brandan Peck and Josh Small. I’m no expert and I’m only doing this list because of a comment on my last music show blog suggesting I tell readers about good shows before they happen. This is what I know of that grabs me for next week…but it’s just my humble opinion. Comments (0) | Permalink Page 1 of 1 pages
