Preview: Josh T. Pearson @ Joe's Pub Friday

[mp3] Josh T. Pearson: "Woman I've Raised Hell"

There's been a lot of missed connections between Josh T. Pearson and Stark. Whether it's SXSW parties at the wrong time, NY shows when we're out of town, or whatever other craziness crops up, we haven't gotten a chance to catch the enigmatic and seemingly soft-spoken artist live yet. We've written on Pearson in the past. and his wandering and excellent album 'Last of the Country Gentleman' still stands as a stark reminder to this man's talent. Pearson's haunting and spare country-folk songs draw immediate attention to his voice and lyrical content. Admit it, when was the last time you went to a show and actually sat and listened to the words? I for one, am looking forward to it. Pearson plays Joe's Pub tomorrow (Friday) night at 11.

Marissa Nadler Tonight At Joe's Pub

Marissa Nadler's fantastic new record Little Hells has provided the perfect soundtrack for the past few snow-filled frigid days in New York City. Nadler has cultivated a more fleshed out full band sound that only adds power to her haunting songs and immaculate voice. We've been hyping this album for awhile, but we just wanted to encourage you to make it out to one of her live shows on the upcoming tour and to check out Little Hells which is out now on Kemado records. Marissa Nadler is at Joe's Pub in NY tonight - the rest of her tour dates with Deer Tick, The Handsome family and Jesse Sykes (awesome) are after the jump. Tickets here for Joe's.
