October at the Lizard Lounge: Session Americana, Dennis Brennan and Bill Janovitz
October 7, 2008 by Sooz
The Lizard Lounge is making it easy to figure out what to do in October.
They’ve got an impressive line-up every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout the month. On Tuesdays it’s Session Americana, unplugged and in the round. Wednesday it’s The Dennis Brennan Band with special guest Jennifer Kimball. If Tom Waits had more rock and soul, he’d sound like Dennis Brennan. And then on Thursday nights in October it’s Bill Janovitz and Crown Victoria. You might remember Bill as the singer from one of the greatest bands ever (ever!), Buffalo Tom.
The Lizard Lounge is a 21+ club located at 1667 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge between Harvard Square and Porter Square. Doors open between 7:30-8:30pm — check their website for the specific show you’re planning to attend. The cover charge ranges from $5-$8. These are all shows that could sell out so buy your tickets in advance online at Brown Paper Tickets.
Here’s a low-fi video I shot of Session Americana at one of their epic shows in April earlier this year at the Lizard Lounge.
And according to Duke’s myspace, Duke Levine will be playing with Dennis Brennan on at least the 8th and 15th! Duke’s one of the best guitar players I have ever seen, so it’s definitely something you shouldn’t miss.
