Shiny & the Spoon, 8/10/11 7 p.m.
The duo gives off the warmth and intimacy of the likes of Johnny Cash and June Carter, with originals that are soulful and clever. In a live setting, the duo is able to quiet a large crowd with haunting, minimal instrumentation and lilting harmonies only to rile the room up again with foot-stomping, a pounding lagerphone, belly-rumbling bluesy vocals, and the occasional rockin’ kazoo solo.
