Julie Moffitt winds down a busy Spring of touring with shows on May 24th at Cubby Bear and May 25th at Bird's Nest in Chicago. In February of this year Paste Magazine included her song "Let Him Be" on their CD Sampler, appearing alongside songs from The Shins and Lucinda Williams.
You can expect more successes this year for Julie as she continues to stretch her musical boundaries. Her songs are intimate musical memoirs expressed through piano, guitar and her warm voice, a voice that brings to mind Jewel but can also take on a funky bluesy feel on songs like "Movin On." Moffitt will take a brief break from performing the first few weeks in June before kicking off her summer midwest tour.Click here for more Concert Previews.
If you know anything about The Smiths you’ll know from this band’s name that they’re a Smith Tribute band, and a very good one at that. Based out of San Francisco, this 5 piece plays nothing but Smiths and Morrisey covers. Orlandissy takes the helm as the Morrissey front man, sounding and moving just as Moz does.
They played an hour and a half set that covered everything from How Soon is Now to Boy With the Thorn in His Side. The newly remodeled Boardners outdoor stage was packed with fans of the Smiths, who knew every song, without a care that this wasn’t the real thing. These guys nailed it and had a good time doing it too. Next time This Charming Band is in your area go see them whether you're a Smiths fan or not.
