Whenever something comes to town that I just can’t drown out, it’s important to let you know that its coming. Tonight is such a night, and Undertow Orchestra (featuring Dave Bazan of Pedro The Lion, Vic Chesnutt, Will Johnson of Centro-matic, and Mark Eitzel of American Music Club) will be appearing at the world-famous Hi-Tone in Memphis. Local support will be provided in the form of Memphis’s own Brad Postlethwaite (of Snowglobe/Makeshift Recordings). From Undertow’s website:

This is a very special collaborative tour with David Bazan (Pedro The Lion, Headphones), Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), and Will Johnson (Centro-matic) all sharing the stage, rotating between each songwriter’s material, while serving as backing band on various instruments for each other’s tunes. Scott Danbom (Centro-matic) will join the Orchestra on piano and violin.

You really can’t afford to miss this show, so here’s a roundup of the music you’re likely to hear:
