Advance Notice: The Week in Happenings 1/25-31

As you can see, there are more than a few chances to take January out with a bang.

Mon – 1/25

  • Arielle Bryant / Nathan Asher @ Local 506 – The much esteemed Nathan Asher sort of fell off the map after his Infantry broke up, but now he’s back– although I have it on good authority that’s more a “back around town” than a “back playing a lot of shows,” so you better catch him while you can. $FREE!

Tues – 1/26

  • The Mebane Acting Company presents the play “Art” @ The Pinhook – $TBA

Wed – 1/27

  • The Entrance Band / Lights / I Was Totally Destroying It @ Local 506 – $10
  • Western Civ / Boy Genius / Mitch Easter @ The Pinhook – $TBA

Fri – 1/29

  • Those Darlins / Pine Hill Haints / Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies @ Local 506 – The Darlins have been all the buzz since before they even showed up much hailed but record-less at last year’s SXSW.  Their swaggering country comes off with just the right touch of kick ass attitude and you’d be crazy to miss out on them while they’re still on the upswing.  If you do make it out to the show, be sure to take the gals sage advice from their tune “DUI or DIE”: “Remember if you want to drink and drive / Better find a boy to take you home for the night.” $7 adv / $8 at the door
  • Killer Filler / Blood Red River @ The Cave – $5
  • Fin Fang Foom / Free Electric State / Gray Young / deVries @ The Pinhook – $TBA

Fri/Sat – 1/29-30

  • Donna the Buffalo / The Believers @ Lincoln Theatre – $17 adv / $20 day of the show / $30 advance Fri/Sat bundle
  • PineCone’s Winter Music Fest @ Raleigh’s Meymandi Concert Hall – One-day tickets, either day: $40-$50 PineCone members, $45-$55 public / Two-day pass: $70-$90 PineCone members, $80-$100 public
    • Friday: Kris Kristofferson, Tift Merritt (with special appearance by Raleigh’s own Community Music School Choir), Tony Rice Unit, and Bearfoot
    • Saturday: Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Dale Ann Bradley, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, and Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass
