Josh Ritter @ the Old Town School

Go see Josh Ritter play at the Old Town School of Folk Music Saturday November 29 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15, available on the Old Town School website. "Ritter's is the rare type of songwriting: untouched by affectation, embroidered with a quietly plaintive voice and sparse melodies (think Dylan and Drake), and with words expressive of another time and place - intangible and idyllic, full of longing and nostalgia, with imagery that awakens even the inanimate." - THE VILLAGE VOICE

Vulgar Boatmen at Beat Kitchen

The Vulgar Boatman are coming to play at the Beat Kitchen with Sour Delux and Sounddrifter. The Boatmen are a great, great rock band (mp3s at their site) that doesn't tour often. Be sure to check them out!
