Hey guys,
Just as I suspected last year, there really isn’t a summer slowdown in the quality of shows going on in Savannah. The crowds may not be quite as big as when school is in session, but there are still plenty of shows to see.
Thursday 6/18 – There are several chances to catch some local favorites tonight. City Hotel is playing an early show, Matt from the Accomplices will be at Molly’s, and I hope to finish the evening of with Wet Socks at Hang Fire. Actually, the whole show at Hang Fire looks pretty good.
City Hotel (Sav’h bluegrass) – Mathes Land and Cattle Co (5:30)
Matt Eckstine (Accomplices frontman) – Warehouse
Wet Socks (Sav’h garage punk), Buzzmutt (San Francisco psych/punk/experimental), Generation Pill (Sav’h grunge-punk) – Hang Fire
Friday 6/19 – Looks like another rockin’ night tonight. I really enjoyed Lullwater and Listen 2 Three the last time I saw each of them. This looks like another good evening to sample a few different Savannah-area acts.
