Magnolia Electric Co. tonight @ Solar Culture

I'll be heading down to Solar Culture tonight to check out Magnolia Electric Co. and The Donkeys. All-ages as always, the show starts at 9 p.m. and is $10.

I've caught Magnolia Electric Co. a couple times before - in May opening for the Avett Brothers and about three years ago at Congress - and there's no question the band is great at what it does. The new album, Josephine, is a high and lonesome set of songs, with guitar, piano, pedal steel and lyrics that evoke images that are precisely what the music calls for - filled with sundowns, shadows, horizons and a restless isolation.

The band is touring heavily - just over halfway through a 26-show U.S. run (in under a month, now less) and then after just a couple weeks off, they head out for another 27 European shows in less than two months. Catch 'em if you can.

It is certainly interesting for me to read the article. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to them. BTW, why don't you change design :).
