Renowned jazz singer Lucy Ridge and her band The Derby Widows will join forces with Brass Knuckle Brass Band this weekend. You’ll be able to catch the all-out brass extravaganza at The Polo in Turner from 8:30 pm on Saturday night.
Singer-songwriter Jack Biilmann‘s latest album with his band The Black Tide is equal parts solo roots and heart-pounding rock and roll. They’ll launch the aptly named Divided Mind at The Basement on Friday night with support from Hope Wilkins, The Burley Griffin, and Toby Morwitch.
Elsewhere this week, locals Spouse and The Narcissists will support Straight Arrows at sideway on Saturday night, and Henry Rollins will bring his Good To See You spoken word tour to Llewellyn Hall on Tuesday evening.
