The good folks at the Ant Hill have graciously offered up their living room for another cozy night of acoustic performances. Making this the first stop of a two week tour out to the East Coast will be Chicago’s Into It. Over It.

This will be the inaugural visit to Kalamazoo for Evan Weiss, whom you may know from the many active bands he’s been a part of (The Progress, Damiera, Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start) or the ambitious project he undertook known as 52 weeks, which involved recording a new song every week for a year. Since then the ever-industrious Mr. Weiss, who records often as a full band but performs solo, has been working on releasing a series of split 7″ records with other Midwestern artists the likes of Castevet, Empire! Empire!, Everyone Everywhere, and Bob Nanna (from Braid!) & Lauren Lo. His latest release is a split 12″ with Koji.

Providing local support will be some of the best of the best of our town’s acoustic guitar-slingers. If you made it to the last acoustic night you will have caught Ian Miller, who returns tonight and will be joined by the equally fantastic Lisa Anderson. A man simply and mysteriously known only as Ashton, a resident of the Hill, will be performing. Kalamazoo’s favorite identical triplet folk team, the Almanac Shouters, round out the bill.

The music kicks off at 8PM and everyone is strongly encouraged to bring a few dollars to donate.
