Get ready for a rare solo appearance by Peg Simone, Brooklyn-based slide guitar sorceress and siren of the dark blues, tonight at LIC Bar.
“A lot of new music boasts of a good time, but it ends up being the same caffeinated sugar water in a fancy plastic bottle, completely lacking in nutrients, life, and anything that’s good for you. Peg Simone’s new music begins from pure places like poetry, the spoken word, the human breath, feedback, the mystical side of folk and blues, and the effect is icy water coming off the mountain, tasting of soil, rock and organic matter; you want to drink it and let it drip down your neck.” –Black Francis
Peg’s current album, Witch Tree Road, is downloadable at pegsimone.com. In addition to her solo work, she also plays guitar in Jonathan Kane’s February.
