Steve Dawson And Friends (Diane Christiansen, Alton Smith, and John Abbey) will be performing at the Hey Nonny venue in Arlington Heights tomorrow (Tuesday) night. At The Bottom Of A Canyon In The Branches Of A Tree, Dawson’s latest solo effort, has been getting rave reviews, so it’s a safe bet he’ll play some tracks from it at Hey Nonny. Dawson excels at crafting Americana and folk songs, whether they’re heartbreakers like “Hard Time Friend” and “I Will Never Stop Being Sorry” or the joyous reflection on raising a child “22 Rubber Bands.” Dawson and Christiansen are founding members of the critically acclaimed Dolly Varden, so the audience might hear a few tracks from that band as well tomorrow night. The music starts at at 7:30.
Julian Daniell has an EP release party coming up this Friday, August 20 at Schubas on Southport. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter and former Elk Walking band member takes an appealing approach to folk on the five-song Only Words that incorporates soul, country and rock. “The Other Side,” with Hannah Williams and Allie Robson on harmony vocals, as well Brian Wilke on pedal steel, evokes 1970s era Neil Young, while the toe-tapping “Sweet Serene” showcases Daniell’s keyboards playing. The release party at Schubas starts at 8:00 p.m. Lillie Mae and Thompson Springs will be on the bill as well.
