Recommended Shows This Week (2/19 - 2/25)

Since we're starting the blog going again full steam, I thought I'd start posting weekly show recommendations again. So if you're looking for something to do this weekend or next week, here are the shows I think you should check out.

Friday: Possessed By Paul James @ The Replay

Possessed By Paul James is actually a one-man-band by Konrad Wert. I don't know a ton about him but I know I can't get enough of his song 'Hurricane'. He'll be playing an early show tonight (in just a few hours!) in Lawrence.

Saturday: Rayland Baxter @ The Granada

I saw Rayland Baxter last month open for Jason Isbell. He was great and now we have a chance to see him playing a headlining show Saturday in Lawrence. His new album, Imaginary Man, is definitely worth a listen.

Sunday: Freakwater @ The Riot Room

The reunited Freakwater, who have put out a bunch of really great Americana/Alt-Country albums going back to the early 1990's, have a new album out (Scheherazade). Their tour behind Scheherazade will bring them to The Riot Room on Sunday night. It should be a really fun time.
