*** THIS WEEKEND **

Fri, Apr 25   Belle & the Burlymen w/ Charlie Cheney - $6

Belle & the Burlymen are a new manifestation of four kids from Stoughton who
grew up passionate about music. With a stripped down arrangement of acoustic
guitar, upright bass, banjo and cello their sound is simple, folky and
unadorned. A blend of original material, traditionals and modern covers keep
the folky feel familiar and engaging. The resulting music reflects the
passion and fun that comes from playing good songs with old friends.

Singer/Songwriter Charlie Cheney travels the country with a suitcase full of
songs packed with nouns and regret. Back from a stint in LA playing with
members of Little Feat, Janes Addiction, PFunk, and Living Color, Charlie
brings a new set of songs about the LA streets to mix in with his already
voluminous catalog of uptempo, broken, and intensely incisive reflections on
American life. To learn less and hear more visit http://charliecheney.com

*** NEXT WEEKEND ***

Fri, May 2 Pretend Sweethearts - $6

Portland's marvelous tantric trickster twins make harmony-drenched americana folk imbued with mystic musings and molten anarchist people power.

With influences ranging from the traditional and anonymous folk songs of old to trip hop and classic rock, the Sweethearts’ blend is rich and delicious. Some fans liken them to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, others to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, while a recent reviewer said “[her] honeyed vocals and [his] smooth crooning create wonderful harmonies together, with well-crafted arrangements, and skillfull musicianship…” Popatunes, June, 2013.

The two trade off on guitars, piano and pedal steel, while locking in tight harmonies reminiscent of the Jayhawks or The Civil Wars.

Like gin and juice, like a razor and a boot, like lightning and the mountaintop, the uniting of powerful forces brings magic, storms and intoxication. The Sweethearts see visions and use music as medicine. The duo spent their first year together calling themselves Vagabond & Tramp, but found themselves more compelled by the ambiguous nature of their relationship. They’ve played the standard bill of dive bars and coffee shops, but take much more pride in their compassionate service work, performing for elders in retirement homes, community sing-alongs and for prisoners behind bars.
