Music Picks for Tuesday, July 20

Old Habits & The Preservation - Pourhouse (Folk/Bluegrass - Country/Rock)
Local Favorite Old Habits take the stage at the Pourhouse for a Tuesday show - Anchored by the Thompson Brothers, this band has quickly gained popularity and has quite a local following (as evidenced by their show 2 weeks ago at Seaboard Station). Thy harmonize, blend sound well and are great entertainers with great stage presence.... Check out "Midnight Moonlight" - and you will see what I mean... This is a great band and it is guaranteed to be a great show....
The Preservation hails from Austin and fits the Garage Country/Rock set.... I like to think of it as dancehall band - great stuff and something that we certainly do not get to enjoy very often here in Raleigh... Their musical styles range from country, to roots to garage rock - but somehow, the band is able to show it's range with excellent transition that is seamless - yet distinct. Check out the range in the songs between "Nickeled and Dimed" to "Tears me Up" to "Little Lucy". This is great stuff and it promises to be a great show.
The Pourhouse has this set for an 8pm show - I highly doubt anything starting before 9 - but get there at 8 just to be safe....
