You have to love when an artist bio is so eloquent and excuisite that you just have to repeat it word for word. According to his bio, Lincoln Durham is a "Southern-Gothic Psycho-Blues Revival-Punk One-Man-Band who does not play well with others," and I'm pretty sure he means it. Tonight he's at Soda Bar and it'll be a great night to order up a whiskey neat and enjoy the show. I heard that things got pretty crazy for Dwarves and the Queers the other night, so if you're looking for another night of mayhem, head to the Casbah for Agent Orange. Meanwhile, Deadheads should be sure to catch Circles Around the Sun, the Neal Casal-fronted band (he plays guitar in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood) formed with the express purpose of providing music for the Dead's 2015 Fare Thee Well Tour. The Observatory North Park is sold out with country star Luke Combs, Chrome Sparks play an intimate show in the Voodoo Room of the House of Blues, and Mainsail headline SOMA.
