The Blind Pig: A.A. Bondy
Raw, gritty indie folk-pop by this Birmingham (AL) singer- songwriter, the former frontman of Verbena. “Over mostly spare backdrops adorned with acoustic guitar picking and mournful piano plinking, Bondy ruminates on loves lost, stolen, and forgotten,” says Spin writer David Peisner in his review of Bondy’s new CD When the Devil’s Loose. “The pace and tenor occasionally resemble the Bataan Death March, but Bondy’s gorgeous melodies, vivid imagery, and haunting voice keep you pressing on.” Opening act is Willy Mason, an acclaimed young blues and country-folk singer-songwriter from Martha’s Vineyard. Advance tickets: $10.
