We weren’t huge fans of Sondre Lerche’s last album, but we still value him as a musician and songwriter. If he floats your boat, head on over to The Parish on Wednesday night to check out his intimate set. Opening support will be provided by JBM. I’m gonna drop an old tune down below to show you why we’ve still got love for ya Sondre.

Jonathan Richman in Austin (1/25-1/28)

January 25, 2010 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Let’s face it, if you don’t know who Jonathan Richman is, odds are you’ve been living under a rock. His influence is all over the place, from Art Brut to Jeremy Jay. After breaking up The Modern Lovers, Jonathan went solo, which is how we’ll find him this week as he hits Austin for four nights in a row. You should catch one of these shows for sure.

1/25 – Cactus Cafe – 8:30 PM

1/26 – Cactus Cafe – 8:30 PM

1/27 – Continental Club – 8 PM – $10

1/28 – Continental Club – 12 AM – $10

1/21 Lissie @ Central Presbyterian Church

January 24, 2010 RayRay One comment

Given the set up and venue, professional coverage of an event like Lissie opening for City & Colour at the Central Presbyterian Church can be a bit difficult. Not that the venue isn’t great (it is pretty sweet), it’s just that giving such an event proper coverage can be tricky. No professional photography, limited set times, etc. can all be problems. Regardless, the highlight of the evening for me was easily the voice of folk singer Lissie resonating throughout a crowded church house with incredible acoustics. Follow the jump to read more.
