You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Doug Tielli (GREX) / Holy Oak Café 2014-01-22 (Wednesday – starts early!) [FB event]
Doug Tielli's Keresley imbues his singer-songwriterly tunes with the adventurous spirit he brings to his work as an improvising musician. Add to that the avant-meets-ancient voice project GREX and you've got a superb show — and an early night! Starts at 7:30, done by 9:30.
