For a long time, I've been a fan of Matt Curreri. I've seen him in various projects, from the Ex-Friends to Mananaland to a whole bunch of other stuff before that, but essentially it all comes down to a local musician who writes great songs. He's reassembled a band to join him tonight at the Belly Up, and if you're in the area, you should swing by and give him a listen. If you're south, Soda Bar has an all-local lineup headlined by the Beautiful View. I'll probably head over to the first of two nights of Thievery Corporation, with AM & Shawn Lee opening the show.
