Horse Feathers

Horse Feathers

Friday, April 30, 2010, 8:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

Born and raised in Idaho, Justin Ringle has a natural affinity with the West. Its space, beauty, and nonconformity seem to be reflected in the music of his band, Horse Feathers. In Ringle's hands, the literal meaning of this expression comes to life: two things that can't possibly exist together are spun into a gossamer delicacy of music shot through with lyrical weight. The band's most recent album, Thistled Spring, is an album of rebirth.

Charlie Mars

Charlie Mars

Thursday, May 13, 2010, 8:00 p.m., Cafe 939 [Map]

On his latest album, Charlie Mars hits a groove that does not signify any specific genre but instead is hardwired to hearts and hips. This is an album that writhes through the headphones, which will ultimately be tossed in favor of a living room dance floor. Mars has sewn together tightly crafted songs with moods and melodies that pulse with sex, wonderment, and personal destruction—all themes that may clash on paper but in music suggest mysteries that are organic to us all.
