A few noteworthy shows are happening this Mon., Nov. 16. Take a look at the breakdown below.
A Silent Film with Flagship, Goodnight Neverland Though previous works found A Silent Film crafting driving alt rock with cinematic swells of strings and post-punk attitude, “Something to Believe In” – the latest single off the British band’s 2015 eponymous LP – is definitive dance pop with some riffy guitar moments while “Lightning Strike” employs tinkling percussives, and both have their own respective anthemic choruses. For fans of The Killers and Snow Patrol. (Crowbar, Ybor City)
Penny & Sparrow The second installment of the monthly Monday evening concerts series featuring roots-hewn musicians continues with this acoustic guitar-wielding duo made up of Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke, roommates turned collaborators who cite influences like The Swell Season and Bon Iver, and create atmospheric folk songs with restrained swells of strings and emotive vocal harmonies.
