Meg Baird - (Set time: 11:15 PM)
Meg Baird will be celebrating the release of her new solo record “Seasons on Earth,” out on
Drag City on September 20, 2011.
“Meg Baird's songs blend reassuring traditions with modern uncertainties, creating music that's engrossing and gently disquieting. Her singing is light and true, and her songs are
unhurried, gradually unfurling her clear and cryptic observations to the accompaniment of her fingerpicked acoustic guitar. Baird's roots reach back to the North Carolina folk songs collected in the early 20th century by her great-great uncle I.G. Greer, but she's also a member of the Philadelphia-based, second-generation psychedelic band Espers. On her 2007 solo album, Dear Companion, Baird proved to have a special knack for covering songs and making them her own." – David Garland/NPR

Glenn Jones - (Set time: 10:15 PM)
“The best guitarist you never heard of.” –The Boston Globe
A 30+-year devotee of the so-called American Primitive school of acoustic steel string
guitarists, Glenn Jones has been playing guitar since theage of 14. He formed Boston psych-rock band, Cul de Sac, in 1989 and led it on its 20 year journey to nowhere, leaving nine albums in its wake, including collaborations with guitarist John Fahey and Can’s Damo Suzuki.
In 2011, Jones signed to Chicago’s Thrill Jockey Records. He issued a split album (with Virginia’s Back Twig Pickers) in March, and has a full-length double LP (The Wanting) slated for release in Septmeber.
Jones has performed with and written extensively about the leading lights of the American Primitive guitar style, John Fahey and Robbie Basho. Longstanding friendship with both artists and first-hand knowledge of their work inform his writing, which includes incisive liner notes for five Fahey albums.

Watery Love - (Set time: 9:15 PM)
“On one of my Yards Brawler runs down to the city of brotherly love, I caught a live set by the unit and drunkenly declared them the ultimate party band for the true blue anti-social misfit. Their latest 7” on the Siltbreeze label (Die With Dignity b/w Leave Me Alone) brings the roar they produce from the tiny stage right down onto the shiny vinyl. It shows the band not only hitting their stride in bad vibes but showcases their unique understanding of the monotonous riffage that links Breakdown, The Brainbombs, Raven, and Sweet Sister Ray.” -Rettsounds/Vice
