What’s happening this week: As I type this, I’m listening to Fred Eaglesmith’s 1987 album Indiana Road, as congenial procession of rural desperation as one can imagine. Sure the farm is up for auction, the kids are headed nowhere fast, couples are hanging together with threads thinner than guitar strings and yet in the quiet harmonies, there is hope and peace of mind. Eaglesmith appears at the Red Dragon tonight, and performers like him are what listening rooms are for.
Mandolin maestro Chris Thile and his progressive bluegrass onslaught the Punch Brothers will be on hand to play with legendary singer-songwriter Loudon Wainright at the Manship Theatre.
Kidsleep Records is having an intimate shindig at the Haven Gallery (7th and Laurel) on Saturday to fete their latest compilation A Songwriter’s Collage. Ten bucks will get you an earful of Jordan Courtney, Luke Ash, Donald Gelpi, Kharis Courtney, and Logan Knight and a copy of the CD.
Elsewhere, Bryan Adams will see if it still cuts like a knife, Kreayshawn will milk that one song for all it’s worth and then some at the Varsity, New Orleans rockers the Revivalists make a stop at Bogie’s and this weekend marks the birthday of Selwyn Cooper, leader of the house band at Teddy’s Juke Joint. Get after it!
