American Aquarium
From the event description:
In the lush tobacco fields of North Carolina where BJ Barham was raised, people work hard. Families stay nearby, toiling and growing together. BJ loves those farms and his tiny Reidsville hometown, but he had to run off and start American Aquarium, a band now beloved by thousands. BJ couldn’t stay. But he couldn’t really leave, either: he’s still singing about the lessons, stories and lives that define rural America — and him.
When: Friday, July 5, 8:30-11:30 p.m.
Where: Knuckleheads, 2715 Rochester Ave.
Admission: $20

The Motels featuring Martha Davis
From the event description:
In 1971, a young Martha Davis joined the Warfield Foxes, a band from Berkeley, California. In 1975 they moved to Los Angeles and changed the band name to the Motels. The new name was inspired on the way to the band’s first show at Barney’s Beanery. Guitarist Dean Chamberlain noted the motor inns as they drove down Santa Monica Boulevard and suggested “What about the Motels?” The band broke up, then reformed in 1978 with guitarist Jeff Jourard, who brought in his brother Marty on keyboards and saxophone. Michael Goodroe on bass and Brian Glascock on drums rounded out the quintet.
When: Saturday, July 6, 9:30 p.m.
