A late addition to this bill, we are happy to have Boston's The Woodrow Wilsons making their First Friday debut. Two dudes, two ladies, whole lot of awesome.

9:15pm The Points North
St. Joe Hazelwood's Chris Alspach and Regina Peterson have joined forces with percussionist Dylan Clark (Tiger Saw, Grey Milk) to form The Points North. Taking the quiet stylings of SJH and adding drums to it has produced an indie folk sound that will make you want to go home and break out your Will Oldham records. This new band should not be missed.

10pm Tom Thumb
I think this just about says it all:
"his latest album, The Taxidermist, is the best expression yet of the little guy's vision - a nostalgic, late evening Americana. Somewhere between Bruce Springsteen and early Peter Gabriel, between the strings of an acoustic guitar and the keys of a harpsichord" -saidthegramaphone.com

11pm The Accident That Led Me To The World
"Basically, not enough indie bands today take the time to get folk and country songwriting right, but that ain’t the case with The Accident That Led Me To The World, who we’ll be referring to as TATLMTTW from here on out. Their newest album, The Island Gospel, comes across on first listen as a simple easy breezy half hour of mellow folk leanings. Further review reveals some truly haunting melodies, (seriously, don’t listen to “Caves” right before bed), wonderful boy/girl vocal interplay… and not a damned bit of percussion in sight. The instrumentaion stays stripped to the bare essentials: guitar, upright bass, banjo… and occasionally some clarinet for color."-retrolofi.com
