This Thursday night, Louie’s is playing host to an evening of strings, voices and beautiful music as some of Kalamazoo’s best songwriters take the stage to support a most excellent group out of Chicago, called Good Evening (Not to be confused with Kalamazoo’s Good News, who played Louie’s earlier this week). These guys are a five-piece acoustic band with a varied instrumentation and a fantastic sound that reminds one of  a spring evening. Smooth but somewhat bittersweet, Good Evening is reason enough to be at  Louie’s Thursday.

Kalamazoo / Traverse City floating denizen Pat Carrol (Also – and perhaps  better known – as Cat Peril) is performing a set as well, singing songs and telling stories with his acoustic guitar. If you’ve never heard Pat play in Kalamazoo, be sure you take this opportunity to catch him in the act. You will not be disappointed.

Fiona Dickenson, another Kalamazoo favorite, will no doubt be performing music off of her album Deunde, which dropped earlier this year and is a fantastic listen (PieEaterMann did a wonderful review of it).  Beautiful, haunting and terrifying are three words that come to mind when listening to Fiona’s music, and her live performance is always top notch.

Finally, The Neu Spreitz’ Tyler Bassett is performing his own solo material under the moniker Silphium Blooms. It should be a blast for everyone involed, so hopefully we see everyone down at Louie’s tomorrow! I’ll be there for sure.
