The Woes + Elk City + Old Monk + Royal American

Led by singer-banjoist Osei Essed and often featuring downtown eclectic Charles Burnham on fiddle, the Woes are a compelling local combo playing a kind of avant-minded hillbilly music. The group's old-timey textures come across as fantastical rather than merely retro. Show up early for classy indie-rock band Elk City.
