Weekend listings, 7/20-7/22:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
FRIDAY 7/20:
General Events:
Concerts:
  • Jeffrey Gaines cd release show at the Kennett Flash.  This guy must draw well around here.  I thought he was a little more national, but he seems to play the area once a month.  And now a cd release show in Kennett Square, of all places?  Strange.  http://www.kennettflash.org/tickets.html
  • XPoNential Music Festival in Camden: Dawes, The War On Drugs, The Lumineers, The Hold Steady, Ozomatli, JC Brooks, and City Rain.
  • Yes at the Tower Theatre.
  • Sleigh Bells, Twin Shadow, and Phantogram at Festival Pier in Philly.
  • River City Extension, The Spinning Leaves, and Brick and Mortar at Union Transfer.
  • Is it wrong that I automatically veto any performer I'm researching who won or placed well in a tv singing show?  Maybe I'm not giving creedence to some truly great performers.  But I can't get past my hang-up about shows like The Voice being a bullshit way to achieve musical fame.
