WHIZ KID
I found an ancient bootleg of a Jackson Browne show last year, and the singer introduces his fiddler-guitarist partner to the audience by calling him “the Lindley Brothers.” It makes sense because, as Jackson has said, “he plays twice the amount of stuff regular humans do.” There’s only one DAVID LINDLEY, and he has always been a whiz when it comes to romping through the entire string family. He’s put shimmer into the work of innumerable stars, brought back beauty from Madagascar, and rocked nice ’n’ greasy with his own El Rayo X outfit. See what he has up his sleeve at the Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan Street, Fall River, Massachusetts. Mark T. Small opens at 8 pm | $20 | 508.324.1926 | ncfta.org more >>
DANCE PARTYAccordion whiz-kid
STEVE RILEY is a veteran at this point, and the rep that he and his
MAMOU PLAYBOYS have earned with their con-sistently exclamatory performances is sizable indeed. The blend of Cajun swing and zydeco stomp that boils over in their music keeps dancers in business from a set’s start to finish. They’re known to work themselves like dogs — gig, gig, gig — so the fact that they’re rock-ing the Towers, 35 Ocean Road, Narragansett, right before they spend the weekend tickling the crowds at the Rhythm & Roots Festival in Charlestown is not surprising. The Pine Leaf Boys have the opening honors at 7 pm | $20 | 401.782.2597 | thetowersri.com
