***Thursday, July 21st at Mick Morgan’s in Newton, MA. 118 Needham St. www.MickMorgans.com
9:00 - Larry White
Referring to his music as 'folkcore', Larry White combined the acoustic sound of folk music with the emotion and edginess of punk rock and metal. The result: music that brings out a wide range of emotions and is sure to leave you moved by the end.
10:00 - Matt & Katie
A duo married in life and song, with acoustic guitars, harmonies and fiddle.
***Friday, July 22nd at Tommy Doyle’s in Newton, MA, 349 Watertown St. www.TommyDoylesNewton.com
9:30 - Tim Ko. & Co.
A blend of cool tunes, with cool friends.
10:30 - Dan Davidson
Dan’s music and guitar work has the bite of an alligator that’s been submerged in swamp water for decades and finally resurfaced. Raw, nasty blues.
