Modern-day psychedelia from New Zealand? What\u2019s not to love? For more than a decade this outfit has been releasing well-received albums that draw from progressive rock, occasionally earning the lo-fi tag. Among their best-known tracks is \u201cSo Good at Being in Trouble,” from their second album; it showcases the aforementioned styles a bit, but I hear soul and trip-hop. Lots going on, and most all of it very good.<\/p>\n

\nJonathan Richman\u2019s place in rock history is assured, in large part thanks to The Modern Lovers<\/i>, an album he recorded in 1972 and released four years later. That record is highly influential, and set the tome for a generation of other artists. What it didn\u2019t<\/i> do, however, was preview the direction that Richman\u2019s own career would take<\/a>. He hasn\u2019t made anything remotely like that record since. But he remains a beloved (if highly idiosyncratic) figure, so anyone who appreciates the vast majority of his work is encouraged to go to this show. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/30do_afmagill.jpg\")

\nMagill is from Western North Carolina, but he\u2019s perhaps best classified as a (forgive the term) world music artist. Such is the breadth of his interest and talent that terms like Americana ans such simply don\u2019t do him justice. Celtic music, Brazilian fado and more: that\u2019s just some of what you\u2019ll get from this master fiddler-and-more. I interviewed him in 2017<\/a> and 2018<\/a>, about two very different projects.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.musoscribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/30do_buddy_guy.jpg\")

\nWhat can I say? This is billed as the blues hero\u2019s<\/a> final tour. Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you! And if that\u2019s not enough, Eric Gales<\/a> opens. (Here\u2019s more<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
