This should be a great live music show, Wednesday night Nov. 20 in NYC at the Mercury Lounge on E. Houston Street. Headliners The Deep Dark Woods from Saskatoon, Sasketchewan are a terrific group with a distinctive folk/roots sound, really good vocals, terrific playing–like that of their keyboard player, whose organ sound makes me feel nostalgic, though I’m not even sure for what–and memorable songs. Come join me if you can. Details at the Mercury Lounge website (the opening acts look good, too). Great music coming off the Canadian Prairies these days, as evidenced by a recent show I enjoyed during CMJ, when I heard the artists showcased by SaskMusic.
