Shy Girls Performs at the Barracuda
From the event description:
Pop singer and producer Dan Vidmar, aka Shy Girls, brings the sounds of his recently released album, "Bird on the Wing," to the Barracuda on Friday. The album is an enticing and uplifting mixture of lo-fi soul, nerdy jam outs, minimalist grooves and a whole lot of chimes. It pulls from a far-reaching and unexpected array of influences, with elements of Jaco and Weather Report, dusty Dilla-esque drums, and noodling Garcia guitar solos.
