This Week in Great Music: 7/18 - 7/24
I'll be at Lincoln Hall to catch the Old 97's tonight. They're one of those bands who I always seem to miss when they come into town. No more!And while I probably won't be able to make it, everyone else should go to the Timber Timbre/Marissa Nadler show on Thursday. I don't know much about Timber Timbre, but I like what I've heard, and Marissa Nadler's new album is beautiful.Monday, July 18Blonde Redhead, My Gold Mask; Millennium Park. 6:30 pm, freeRobbie Fulks, Beau Sample, Robbie Gjersoe; Hideout. 7 pm, $10 suggested donationOld 97s, Robert Ellis; Lincoln Hall. 8 pm, $25Tuesday, July 19Steve Earle and the Dukes, Allison Moorer; the Vic. 7:30 pm, $32-35Uncommon Ground Employee Talent Night, ft.
