*HOT*HOT* Delta Rae & Bird and Arrows - Berkeley Cafe (Folk/Indie)
One of my personal faves - Delta Rae is performing with another very good band - Birds and Arrows.. This is going to be great night at the Berk!
Birds and Arrows is a Chapel Hill based trio that has folk indie sound drenched in the amazing soulful vocals of Andrea Connolly. This is a great relaxing sound that makes for some easy listening - and you can focus on the musicianship (the cello is a very nice touch as well). The music and the vocals seem to complement each other - and Andrea's talented voice reminds you of shades of Indigo Girls or Tift Merritt... This is a great opener for Delta Rae - heck, I would reccomend you seeing them if they we playing solo - they are that good

Delta Rae is a Durham based quartet (by way of California) - the Holjes kids (two brothers and a sister) along with family friend Elizabeth Hopkins, have created a dynamite sound and are truly a vocal powerhouse. Brittany and Elizabeth's vocals are really world-class and their chemistry and talents have you thinking of other close-knit bands like Fleetwood Mac or Mamas & The Papas... This is a HOT band that will be on the big stage one day - its a matter of when - not if....

Check out Bottom of the River on You Tube - it will give you chills when Brittany hits the high notes....
Soft Company & Houston Bros - Tir Na Nog (Indie/Experimental)
As part of the Local Beer Local Band series, the fine folks at Tir Na Nog have brought us two bands from the Charlotte area.
Houston Bros is of particular interest as they are in the new wave, electronic, indie experimental scene and their brand of music is particularly interested and played with great enthusiasm and skill. It is most certainly an interesting sound and I highly reccomend checking it out if the above show does not grab your interest....
Soft Company is more in the mold of the idie/new age genre - and comes off as bit like an unpolished Bjork - very good - very interesting with crisp, clear sounds.. This style works for this genre and it's quite good... The band has done an excellent job melding the vocals and varios guitar and keayboard music to create a pretty solid - downbeat sound that is easy to listen to - yet complex if you really want to pay attention and concentrate.. Either way its going to be a great show and I'm just disappointed that I cant be in two places at the same time...
