Shearwater + Laura Gibson

Austin, Texas band Shearwater spun out of Okkervil River, but has followed its own path, crafting dense, dramatic music anchored by the commanding vocals of frontman Jonathan Meiburg. The group's latest, Jet Plane and Oxbow, layers synthesizers atop folk melodies, lending its newest batch of songs a stylish, prog-rock flair. New York-based folk singer Laura Gibson opens the show, performing behind her upcoming release, Empire Builder.
