It’s exciting to say that we’ll be hosting Cass McCombs on July 8th, at the Crowley Theater, in a show co-presented with our friends at Ballroom Marfa.  Cass McCombs is, in our estimation, one of the best songwriters we’ve got, one whose work we find very difficult to parse, and yet all the more compelling for this very reason.  There always seems to be something lurking in McCombs’ work, something unstable that haunts a first impression.  It’s got a lot of loveliness, also, those chilling “oohs” and “aahs”, that draw you in, and draw comparisons with Ricky Nelson and Bobby Darin.  And hey: you don’t need to listen to me, just listen.  $10, tickets.

Austin artist, Pink Nasty opens the show.  Don’t miss this, either!  Doors open at 8:30 pm.
