Harmute, Mary Johnson Rockers
Local 506—Openers Mary Johnson Rockers and Lafcadio supply soft, shuffling twang, making Harmute's mildly theatrical pop-rock the wild card here: With hardly a hint of country to its sound, Harmute's wistful piano-led songs blend equal parts Broadway ballad and lite-rock boogie. Lead singer Skylar Gudas sings in a warm way, while guitarist Jesse Wooten wraps his slightly nasal voice around Gudas' lower range. The voices earn prominent placement thanks to largely understated arrangements, punctuated with eager drum fills and tasteful strings. The 9 p.m. show is free, but donations will be collected for the Orange County Rape Crisis Center. —Bryan Reed
