Shows Of Note

MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST SINGER/SONGWRITER WILL Hoge comes to
Louisville roughly every six months, in part because it's an easy trip
from Nashville and because - of course - he has a fanbase here. On this
trip, he has a relatively new CD, Number 7,
to promote. It's his seventh studio album and matches the lucky number
he has tattooed on his arm. He's all recovered from his scooter wreck
back in 2008 and will be bringing along Bonnie Bishop,
a Cincinnati native who moved to Texas, then to Nashville, where she
has recorded a number of albums, including one she is currently working
on, Free. They'll be at Headliners Music Hall on May 17, for the low, low price of $10 adv/$12 DoS.

PRODUCER, SONGWRITER AND musician and formerly unhappy guy Greg Laswell has joined up with Brooklyn up-and-comer Elizabeth Ziman of Elizabeth & The Catapult
(the Catapult won't be here for this one) for a show at Headliners
Music Hall on May 18. Laswell is, apparently, a happier man now that he
has married musician Ingrid Michaelson, making his music, including his most recent, Take A Bow, somehwat less morose.
Whether or not Louisville fans will appreciate this turn in his tunes
remains to be seen. Ziman, who was here with her band in 2009, writes
film scores and
channels the Buddhist teachings of Leonard Cohen's poetry for some of
her material. She also plays piano well, having been classically
trained. The pair should make this an interesting and musically superior
show. Tickets are $12 adv/$15 DoS.

THE MUSICIANS EMERGENCY Resource
Foundation (MERF) is staging a fund-raiser at Stevie Ray's on
May 18, featuring Dirty Church
Revival, River City Blues Band and Wayne Young & the New
Legends. MERF, as most Louisville music fans
know, raises money to help musicians get through hard times (Lots more
of those these days!), and the bands play for free, so all the money
goes to MERF. The lineup should appear to young and not-so-young fans,
with a range from Wayne Young's get-up-and-dance rock 'n' roll to the
River City Blues funkiness to the rock of Dirty Church Revival, coming
into the show with a brand-new CD. Altogether, a good night of music for
a good cause, at only $5.
