There’s also a show at NIGHTBIRD BOOKS tonight (205 W. Dickson Street). ALL AGES, starts at 9pm, $3 suggested donation–
MORNIN OLD SPORT (Oakland, CA)
http://morninoldsport.com/
“Over the past four years, Berklee grads Mornin’ Old Sport cracked the tough exterior of Allston’s Rock City stigma with vocal harmonies and country-toned ballads. Students across the city were soothed by the beautiful jazz standards and sumptuous voice of lone lady Kate Smeal and laughed together, dancing in Pratt St. basements to Put One Back.” – The Boston Globe
RICHARD THE LIONHEARTED (Columbia, MO)
http://lionheartedband.com/
“Richard the Lionhearted has a dark-alt-rock-country-folk sound — although that’s a classification born out of the inability to pigeonhole the band. Perhaps it could be described as rockabilly-meets-Pink Floyd. Moody but full of texture and distortion,
the dirty, chugging rhythms are offset by strong, Southern-tinged vocals and other faintly eerie harmonies.” – Columbia Daily Tribune
LEGS (Bentonville, AR)

WSP music fans Friday eve Mike Houser Tribute memorial webcast is live from Georgia Theatre, in our sister college town of Athens, GA, with Outformation, John Bell, John Keane, Sam Holt, and friends. Tune in on
