Alvin & A Couple of
Guilty Women 2/19 – 8 p.m. Grammy winner Dave Alvin is considered to be one of the pivotal founders of the current Americana music scene. And no one states what he does better than the man himself. “To put it simply, there are two types of folk music; there’s quiet folk music and there’s loud folk music. I like to play both.” From the aggressive rock & roll of The Blasters (70’s) to the acoustic storytelling of his solo work, Alvin continues to expand his musical range with the Guilty Women line-up, which features the always cool Cindy Cashdollar. $25 www.davealvin.net |

Black Mambazo 2/27 – 8 p.m. Hot off a 2009 Grammy win, LSBM’s music is the embodiment and soul of South Africa. The world was introduced to them when they heard their stunning harmonies on Paul Simon’s “Graceland” and they have continually shared their magic with musical luminaries such as Josh Groban, Taj Mahal, and George Clinton. Founder Joseph Shabalala formed this group with his brothers 40 years ago and while the band continues to evolve and change with the times, the one thing that stays the same is their energetic and completely heart lifting dances. Keep an eye out for the red socks. $30 www.mambazo.com |
