\nCanned Heat has gone through countless personnel changes over the course of its run, but the current (or at least recent) lineup features guitarist Jimmy Vivino. He deserves the spot, as he\u2019s an excellent and expressive player. His most recent solo release, Gonna Be 2 of Those Days<\/i>, is quite good as well. I\u2019ll be reviewing it soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Orions Belte<\/a>

\nHypnotic, mostly instrumental music is the stock in trade from this Norwegian guitar-bass-drums trio. My son turned me onto Orions Belte a few years back when they released 2018\u2019s Mint<\/i>. Their more recent material builds on their alluring sound. I\u2019m not telling you to take a few bong hits before the show, but I\u2019m not not<\/i> telling you. (Get a ride, though.)<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: They Might Be Giants<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Orange Peel<\/u><\/u><\/a>
\nDate<\/b>s<\/b>: Tuesday, Mar. 25 and Wednesday Mar. 26, 8 p.m.

\nIf you think TMBG is a comedy act, you\u2019re missing out big time. There so much more to this group fronted by the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linell). Their music is witty, yes, but it\u2019s adventurous and mite progressive as well. I\u2019ve interviewed them a few times, most recently for <\/a>Spin<\/i><\/a> last fall. They\u2019re playing a two-night run here, with a portion of ticket proceeds going to MANNA Food Bank (Helene disaster-related). Great music, great guys.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Jackie Venson<\/a>

\nI could have sworn I\u2019d written about this impressive young guitarist outta Austin TX before, but apparently I have not. Suffice ot say that Venson is a sterling musician who has wowed artists like Gary Clark Jr., Vernon Reid and Melissa Etheridge. Blues is only part of what she does; there\u2019s plenty of funk and rock in there as well.<\/p>\n

See you at the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
