Larry Jack’s Magical Music Tour – 5/22/14 – 5/27/14

Hey guys,
I hope you are ready for another big weekend of downtown music.  I am looking forward to a good show at Trinity Church with Waits & Co., Damon & The Shitkickers, and Paving Gravy and an album release party from one of Savannah’s best bands, the Accomplices, at one of Savannah’s best breweries, Southbound Brewery.  Here are some recommendations for the whole weekend and a little beyond.

Thursday 5/22
Waits & Co., Damon & The Shitkickers, Paving Gravy – Trinity Church ($10, 7p)
Softspot (old school new age art rock from Brooklyn) , Blackrune (heavy psychedelia, dark shoegaze, atmospheric black metal, and dreamy noise), Faeryteeth (electronic folk) – Hang Fire ($6)
Yaddatu (acoustic rhythms, electric themes, soulful grooves & a pounding pulse… whatever that means) – Barrelhouse South

Friday 5/23
Lovely Locks (acoustic) – Blowin’ Smoke (7p)
Jim White, Dare Dukes – Trinity Church ($15/20, 7:30)
City Hotel, Rolling Nowhere – Jinx
Naughty Professor (instrumental funk from New Orleans) – Congress Street Social Club
Eric Culberson Band (blues-rock from one of Savannah’s best guitarists) – Molly MacPherson’s

Saturday 5/24
Gypsy Slim – Bub-Ba-Q (6-9)
Accomplices Album Release Party – Southbound Brewery ($20, 6-9 7-10) – Accomplices and SOAP are playing. This is sure to be one of the best shows of the week
Lovely Locks, Aaron Zimmer – Hang Fire – I plan to catch this show after the Southbound show, if my bicycle can make it over the viaduct
Weird Hot (6-piece rock from Philly), Movers & Shakers (southern rock from SAV) – Ampersand (free)
Hot Plate (experimental rock from SAV), Volume IV (classic rock sound from ATL) – Jinx
Hypnotics (garage rock covers) – Molly MacPherson’s (10p)
Clouds & Satellites – Blowin’ Smoke (7p)
Rock n’ Savannah – Coach’s Corner – Rouges, Shut Up & Drive, Born Brothers, Thomas Claxton & The Myth, more
Col. Bruce Hampton – Mars Theater ($20, 8p) – I wish I could make it to this.  The old Mars Theater (1945) in Springfield was recently refurbished into an approximately 200(?) seat venue.  I also noticed that Beverly “Guitar” Watson is playing soon.  I hope to make it out there for a show one day soon.

Sunday 5/24
Big Something (6-piece alternative rock from NC, with a sax and trombone) – Barrelhouse South (9:30)
Eric Britt & Britt Scott  Voodoo Soup – Congress Street Social Club
