Deer Tick + Ryley Walker

Fronted by singer John McCauley and his Tom Waits–level growl, Deer Tick comes to the Old Town School of Folk Music for a pair of acoustic performances. The band's last record, cheerily titled Negativity, was an anguished, rowdy and curiously mature effort, combining the energy of the Replacements with the respectibility of roots-rock. Local guitarist Ryler Walker supports. These shows are presented as part of CIMMfest 2016.
