Music Picks for Wednesday, August 18

Peter Lamb & The Wolves - Humble Pie (Jazz)
The mainstay of the Raleigh Jazz scene, these guys will tear it up tonight at the Humble Pie... Good crowd, Great Music and lots of dancing going on.. All in all, a great evening for relaxing jazz and meeting with friends.

Old Habits & Acoustic Manner - The Brewery (Roots/Folk/Bluegrass)
I'm really glad to see the Brewery branching out a bit and getting some different music in their venue. This is a great place to see music and what better than two of the best folk/bluegrass bands in town... Old Habits has made great strides in establishing itself as one of the best in their class - and they have done it quickly. The Thompson Brothers have put together a great set of musicians and they seem to get better every time out. It's an exciting band, great music and a great mix of original songs and some great covers that they seem to put their own stamp on.

Acoustic Manner is the former Barefoot Manner group (-1) and they are playing their brand of Bluegrass with the same fervor as before.... This will most certainly be a great show - so come on out and check out a great night of music...

**Hot**The Civil Wars - Pourhouse (Indie/Roots)
Perhaps the most intriguing band of the night - The Civil Wars - treats Raleigh to a stop. Claims to fame for these two include a recent stint of their music on Greys Anatomy. Their music style is a powerful, powerful duet of great voices - and it will blow you away. Think Glen Hansard & MarketaIrglova - it's that good! They have a whole bunch of great songs - but if you only have time to listen to one, Poison & Wine is the one - its a champion - and now is a great time to catch them while they are under the radar...
Madi Diaz opens the evening and she is a talented vocalist in her own right - what a great night of music!
The Civil Wars can be found on you tube
