Long-running Austin songwriter Bob Schneider has a plaintive everyman’s voice, at times reminiscent of Ben Folds on horse tranquilizers, which sits nicely alongside his similarly straightforward tunes. Grammy-nominated bluegrass and folk-pop songwriter Adrienne Young, London-based One Eskimo, and Old School Freight Train guitarist Jesse Harper open. $5 is a steal for these guys; you have 106.1 The Corner to thank.

Set your Flux Capacitor for 1959 and take a trip with the UVA faculty performers as they focus on the legendary releases from that year, which included Miles’ Kind of Blue, Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape Of Jazz To Come, and Mingus’ Mingus Ah Um.

As you may know from his previous Tea Bazaar shows, Brooklyn songwriter Tavo Carbone used to take his pop and folk tunes on tour with a revolving-door band and often with outlandish instruments (glockenspiel, accordion, etc). Things have settled down recently, though, so now we have Horse’s Mouth, the new stable band which should prove to be a) tighter and b) louder (we heard all that straight from the, er, original source).
Tavo Carbone - Boxcar Serenade
Tavo Carbone - Off To Hawaii
Tavo Carbone - Blue Boats On Black Lakes
Horse’s Mouth - As I Climb In The Horse’s Mouth
