TONIGHT: The Wooden Sky at Radio (Somerville)
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 7:41AM Words // Scott Pingeton
I'm not shy about how much I love The Wooden Sky. Afterall, they channel influences that mirror my own iTunes library. At their center is folk music in the tradition of Dylan and Townes Van Zandt, but they pull inspiration from the sharp wit of Elvis Costello and Jonathan Richman, the classic rock of Tom Petty and a penchant for ethereal, meandering jams. Their latest (highly recommended) album Every Child a Daughter, Every Moon a Son is one of my favorites of the year - and shows a clear progression of the band's sound towards more nuanced songwriting and arrangements.
The last time The Wooden Sky were in town they played one of my favorite shows of 2011 (you can relive the show here). Do yourself a favor and go see this band live. They play at Radio in Somerville TONIGHT 8pm - $10 (at the door, $8 in advance)
Here are some videos from the intimate Kitchen Sessions show the band played last time they were in town:
