Tonight at the WOW Hall: Jens Lekman and Tig Notaro

Forgive the late notice.  We’re sorry.

 

But.

 

Swede Jens Lekman performs tonight at the WOW Hall starting at 8 p.m.  Lekman, formerly known as Rocky Dennis, is a singer-songwriter who blends melodic guitar with digital samples (think Andrew Bird) to produce a sound that can be experienced here.  Heavily influenced by Modern Lovers front-man Jonathan Richmond and the Scottish rockers Belle & Sebastian, Lekman is now on Secretly Canadian and is on tour in support of his epic 2007 album Night Falls Over Kortadela.  His performances often take different shapes ranging from just him and his guitar to a cappella to a full choir and string quartet.  While I have no insider information to what he’ll pull from his bag tonight (Save for comedian and actress Tig Notaro as an opening act), I’m sure it will be well worth the $15 inside the WOW Hall tonight.  If you’re not engulfed in course work, check it.

Evan did all of the cover’s last year, in addition to a lot of cool illustrations on the insides of those issues, so if you aren’t familiar, go to the “Archives” and check out Volume XVII. He is still the Art Director, so you’ll be seeing more of his work in the magazine this year.
