A recently new resident to Durham, Jake Xerxes Fussell is hands down one of the best traditional musicians of today. Growing up in Columbus, Georgia, Fussell became well acquainted with the Piedmont blues musicians that were from the Chattahoochee Valley by touring and recording with legends like Precious Bryant, Black Rodeo Rider, Rye Whiskey Distiller, and Georgia Daniel. In this new self-titled album, Fussell teamed up with William Tyler to rearrange ten folk and blues songs that still retain their roots, but with more of Fussell’s original flare. – Local Music Director Clint Bowman

This Don Giovanni band’s new release, Nights in the Dark by CALIFORNIA X, sounds like that time you got all nostalgic reading a Buzzfeed list of “20 Toys from the 90’s That Were Totally Awesome” and then thought about your middle school crush and how you wish you’d had the nerve to say you LIKE-LIKED him/her during truth or dare at that birthday party the whole class was invited to. – Meggs Benedict

See you at 8
at the rock show. We’ll be with all of your best friends waiting at the Lincoln Theater, purging bad vibes. Hit us up when you get there. Don’t forget your ticket, you need one of those to get in. No need for a shirt, we’re selling some there. Oh and leave the lighter- we got matchbooks! So stoked to see you there.
