Check it out... Friday, November 27Andrew Landers ProjectWith Paige PopejoyFOLK/ROOTS/BLUESThree minutes with Andrew Landers is time well spent. He speaks his truth with creativity, texture, soul, and wit in music that ranges from acoustic folk simplicity to blues-rock intensity. Andrew Landers world is full of metaphor and meaning. Andy permeates his music; challenging you to deepen your love for fellow sojourners and acknowledge how desperately we need each other on these broken roads. Andrew enters into depravity and finds the hope. Andy believes, "Good music touches the core-both of culture and of the soul." With this belief, he crafts his him in, one thing is for certain-after seeing and hearing Andrew Landers, you will not look at life the same way. Another QC singer-songwriter Paige Popjoy will open the show.DOORS: 7PM/ SHOW: 8PM/ TICKETS: $7BAND WEBSITE Saturday, November 28Daphne Willis & Co. With Jim The MuleACOUSTIC/ROCK/BLUESThe 21-year-old front woman makes supple, soulful music possessing a sophistication that belies her age. Because of the silky, disarming ease of her songs, Willis has been described as a female Jack Johnson, but below the surface this introspective young artist brings a cutting-edge liveliness to the confessional singer/songwriter tradition that recalls the music of Rickie Lee Jones at the same age. In only two years, Willis has already made deep inroads on the Midwest club circuit and is now performing at top-echelon venues like Schuba's in Chicago, The Annex in Madison, First Avenue in Minneapolis and the River Roots Live Festival in Davenport - and pulling off this feat without the help of a booking agent. She's deepened the impression with the self-made 2007 EP Matter of Time, which she has been selling. QC Midwest Roots Rock n' Roll band Jim The Mule will open the show.
