New Jersey outfit Pinegrove plies music that marries indie rock guitar solos and distortion with heartfelt lyrics and poignant roots rock embellishments like plucked banjo and twangy sliding pedal steel. The overall result is fresh, airy, easy and critically laudable; Pitchfork.com gave 2016 Cardinal LP an impressive 8.0 rating, while Spin magazine called it “a record lovingly crafted and intimately written, full of sounds, observations, and emotional realizations that you didn’t know you wanted in 2016, but, in fact, needed desperately.” Warm-up on this night from Half Waif, Sports and The Get Go. The show starts at 8 p.m., and happens at Crowbar in Ybor City; admission is $10. Media below.
