\nArtist<\/b>: Pedro the Lion<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Tuesday, April 25, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nDavid Bazan led indie\/slowcore trio Pedro the Lion from 1995 to 2006; even with a revolving-door lineup featuring Bazan as its only constant, the band\u2019s thoughtful, topical music earned plaudits from fans and critics alike. Bazan turned his attention to a solo career under his own name after disbanding the group (I interviewed him<\/a> during that period) but he reactivated the group with Erik Walters and Sean Lane, and that stable trio continues to this day. Erik Walters opens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/30do_tuatha_dea.jpg\")

\nAppalachian rock\/Americana is the stock in trade of this large (six? seven? eight-piece?) and versatile outfit that combined Celtic flavors with sounds of the mountains. It\u2019s a friends-and-family project, with spouses, nieces and such; that togetherness is a key to their appeal. Eireann\u2019s Call opens.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/30do_dbt.jpg\")
\nArtist<\/b>: Drive-By Truckers<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, May 12, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $20
\nWho says Southern rock can\u2019t be musically and lyrically ambitious? Certainly not Patterson Hood, the driving (heh) force behind this critic\u2019s favorite. Hood is the thinking person\u2019s musician, always good for incisive commentary, as my 2017 interview with him<\/a> demonstrates. The band is also booked at the Orange Peel for another show on May 13.<\/p>\n
