This Week in Great Music: 5/3 – 5/9

It looks like a quiet week, but I find myself strangely busy. I’ll be checking out the Laura Marling show tomorrow night, and Jerome Holloway’s show on Friday. I saw him open for Nneka in February and thought he was really good, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with a headlining spot. Saturday also has some strong line-ups of local bands, both at Bottom Lounge and at the Beat Kitchen. . . . → Read More: This Week in Great Music: 5/3 – 5/9

I am too sleepy for commentary this morning, so have the below list of shows which I have deemed to be Awesome.  I’ll be at the Empty Bottle on Thursday to catch Dosh’s show, and hopefully I won’t forget about the tickets I have to the Old Town School of Folk Music on Sunday, for Eliza . . . → Read More: This Week in Great Music: 4/12 – 4/18

This Week in Great Music: 4/5 – 4/11

Let’s hope that this week is better than last, where I had a moment of complete brilliance and proceeded to forget all about the show I was supposed to go to on Saturday night.  Sigh.

I’ll be at Lincoln Hall on Wednesday (Fanfarlo) and Thursday (The xx), provided that I don’t forget about those shows, too.
