蜜柚直播

Frontman Green penned the album鈥檚 10 songs, including the southern, bluesy rocking title song that he sings with a warbly, rough-hewn baritone that is a fine fit for the haunting harmonies he creates with bandmate Rachel Okpisz. Green goes a few octaves higher on the kinda snarky breakup song 鈥淕onna Miss You.鈥�

Green鈥檚 band also includes lead guitar Chris Allison, Tom Cracovaner on drums and Stefan Joeckel on bass. Green teamed up with 蜜柚直播鈥檚 legendary producer/musician Duncan Stitt at Stitt鈥檚 The Writer鈥檚 Room studio to record and mix the record, with fellow 蜜柚直播 musician Jim Howell chiming in on a few album cuts.

Friday鈥檚 event at Monterey Court, 505 W. Miracle Mile, starts at 6:30 p.m. and also will feature Mike Sadler and Big Grin. All of the proceeds from CD sales on Friday will benefit Tu Niditio, the nonprofit organization that focuses on kids in need. Details: or .

Faun Fables coming to EXO Bar

On Wednesday, July 3, the experimental Faun Fables duo will play an intimate show at Exo Bar, 403 N. Sixth Ave., in the back end of the Exo Roast Coffee shop downtown.

Here are three reasons you should check it out:

• Lead singer Dawn McCarthy has an incredibly unique voice that The New Yorker magazine once described as 鈥渙ne of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music鈥� that can open hearts and minds.
• Nils Frykdahl, McCarthy鈥檚 Faun Fables鈥� partner, chimes in with what has been described as 鈥渨eathered vocals鈥� and some pretty impressive instrumental prowess on guitar, bass and flute.
• It鈥檚 been six years since the duo, which tours all over the world, has reached our sun-splashed desert. Bonus: We get to see them in a pretty small, intimate space, which is always a pretty cool experience.

Wednesday鈥檚 concert starts at 8 p.m. at Exo. Admission is $7 at the door.
