Professional Fans + Lola Kirke + Wyndham + Omar Velasco ~ $8 ~ 7:00 pm - 12:00 am
 Although his credentials in the music industry reach far and wide and he’s certainly been busy out of his mind as of late, grunge/folk artist Wyndham somehow found the time to record an EP for his fans, which is due out next month. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of his new track “Shot Up”. www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/new-music/wyndham-garnett-shot-up | Late last month, Lola Kirke took the stage at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, New York, to celebrate the release of her debut, self-titled EP. Flanked by five other musicians (including her boyfriend, Wyndham Boylan, who also produced the record), she played bleeding-heart, country-dusted rock, marking her official foray into a professional music career. In that world, Kirke is still a relative unknown. For the tour she just completed—an 8-stop jaunt between New York and Los Angeles—she traveled in a small van with friends and collaborators, playing at intimate clubs along the way. And yet two weeks prior to the show at Baby’s All Right, the 26-year-old performer found herself on the cover of The Village Voice. That’s because, in Lola Kirke’s other life, she happens to be an actress on the cusp of stardom.

 | “I started playing as soon as I can remember. I took to it right away,” said singer/songwriter Omar Velasco of his musical beginnings. “I didn’t really decide to do it as a career until later in life — about 18 years old.” Now, after six years as a guitarist touring with the band A Fine Frenzy and then with Jonathan Wilson, Velasco has embarked on a solo career. His debut album, Golden Child, is out now. Golden Child proves to be a tantalizing aural experience. “Great Western City” is a galloping number with rich vocals and a lyrical sense of storytelling. “Golden Child” has a jazzy feel with orchestration undertones à la a funkier Seals and Crofts, and Velasco’s warm vocals soothe like a summer breeze. www.facebook.com/musicofvelasco/app/178091127385/ |
