Concert Listings Roundup #324

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:

Furniture Music (feat. Tatsuya Nakatani / Dreamed Meat [Rob Grieve/Cory Harper-Latkovich]) / Wenona Lodge 2019-10-22 (Tuesday) [FB event]

The excellent Tuesday-night programming at Wenona continues, with this special event from Furniture Music adding an exclamation point. Tatsuya Nakatani's bowed cymbals and other percussive techniques always make full vibratory use of the spaces he inhabits, so this up-close-and-personal encounter should be an intense experience.
