Local music is always there to fulfill the yearning for good music -- at least the Arizona scene is. Thriving with musical prodigies and talented acts, the Arizona music selection is both diverse and brilliant. So this Saturday, instead of sitting on your couch and watching the fifth season of Bones again, go out and support the scene at the River Jones Music Night. A night saturated with terrific indie-folk alternative, great music will be easily enjoyed.
Acts including You Me and Apollo, Steff Koepen and the Articles, The Riveras and Sareena Dominguez will be gracing the stage of local haunt Yucca Tap Room. The locally run, independent River Jones Music label represents many great acts so this is the golden opportunity to sample a few selections. Not to mention it’s free, which I’m sure are magical words to every broke college student’s empty pocketbooks. Guaranteed to be a terrific night of canoodling and hipster dancing galore, it’s a great fix to add to your weekend schedule. The consistency of folk music is always a tangible one: great instrumentation paired with beautifully pitched vocals. And judging by the lineup, there will be no disappointments. For a taste of what’s to come:
