Sarah Shook and The Disarmers with Sunny War
From the event description:
Sarah Shook makes country music, but to leave it at that is a disservice to her and The Disarmers’ innovation. Avoiding mainstream country, her brand is closer to outlaw country or honky-tonk punk. This music — with its sharpened songwriting, unique perspective, deepened sound and roll-up-your-sleeves attitude — will grab you by the collar and put a defiant finger to your chest. It is resolute, blunt and unflinching. Blues and punk artist Sunny War will open the night, her voice carrying the melancholy of Billie Holliday.
When: Wednesday, July 10, 7:30 p.m.
Where: The Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Ave. South
Price: $7.50
