Made Out of Babies
The Magic Rocks
This spinoff from eclectic local cover band The 8-Tracks features a more lean and stripped-down rock sound, but retains that “anything goes” spirit, by playing unusual arrangements of tunes by a diverse range of artists, including The Beatles, The Pixies, Jerry Lee Lewis and even Spinal Tap. Fri., 8 pm, The Warehouse.
Willie Heath Neal
Nashville-based alt.country troubadour (backed by The Damned Ole Opry) that reeks of the real deal. Akin to the plainspoken confessional honky-tonk of Guy Clark or Joshua Black Wilkins. “You say that you love me/But you give me the chair.” Indeed. Fri., 11 pm, The Jinx.
The Howard Paul Group
Excellent 7-string jazz guitarist and his band, joined by their special guest, pianist Aletha Jacobs. Mon., 8 pm, The Jazz Corner (Hilton Head).
G.E. Perry & Strange Brew
Hard-hitting blues-rock (covers and originals) featuring harmonica, and led by a longtime area guitarist and singer who’s an ace with the slide. Wed., 7 pm, Jazz’d Tapas Bar (solo) + Fri., 9 pm, Bogey’s + Sat., 8 pm, The Warehouse.
The Ruins
Not to be confused with the other local rock band going by this same name, this project features Brock and Adam from the nationally-known psychedelic sensations Perpetual Groove, and members from celebrated regional jam-band Captain Soularcat. Sat., 10 pm, Loco’s (downtown).
Seldom Sober
Fri. July 20th: The Trainwrecks
Newly-minted local Irish band featuring Colleen Settle (fiddle) and Michael Corbett (guitar, banjo, bodhran). Sat., 6 pm, Murphy’s Law Irish Pub.
Silver Lining
Noteworthy local jazz trio featuring singing bassist Maggie Evans, guitarist Jackson Evans and drummer Mark Cordray. They recently released an impressive debut CD.
Thurs., 6 pm, North Beach Grill (Tybee) ALL-AGES.
Tradewinds
Local sextet specializing in well-known Motown, shag and soul hits from the past several decades. Sat., 7 pm, North Beach Grill (Tybee).
The Train Wrecks
Raucous local roots-rock and Americana band (covers and originals) who are soon to release an impressive debut CD. Thurs., 10 pm, Murphy’s Law Irish Pub + Sat., The Britannia (Wilmington Isl.).
Voodoo Soup
Terrific, funky, acid-rock and soul cover act benefiting from the excellent chops of all the musicians involved. Thurs., 10 pm, Mercury Lounge + Tues., 9 pm, Fiddler’s Crab House (River St.).
Dot Wilder
Award-winning jazz vocalist from Northeastern Fla. who draws heavily on the legacy of Ella Fitzgerald and Abbey Lincoln. She’ll be joined by trumpeter Alex Nguyen, bassist Will Goble and drummer Mark Raudavaugh. This show is sponsored by the Coastal Jazz Association. It’s free to their members, and if you join up at the show, they’ll waive the $10 cover for the general public! Sun., 5 pm, Tubby’s Tankhouse (River St.) - ALL-AGES.
Greg Williams
One of the best rock and blues vocalists and guitarists around, Williams has released a handful of exemplary original CDs, and toured nationally. Wed., 8 pm & Fri., 10 pm, Café Loco (Tybee) + Sun., 6 pm, One Hot Mama’s (Bluffton).
WormsLoew
This buzzworthy Savannah band now plays throughout the region. They still retain a strong Neo-Southern rock influence, but their twangy, pop-oriented songwriting is maturing and moving beyond the confines of their acknowledged heroes. Sat., 10 pm, Wild Wing Café. w
