Joanna Newsom
Later this month,
Joanna Newsom will release her new record
Divers, and whats even more exciting (if you're into that kind of thing) is that on Dec. 12, she'll bring her tour to the
Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall ($29-49, on sale Friday). If I'm not mistaken, this will be the singer-songwriter-harpist-etc's first appearance in Pittsburgh since her 2006 show at the Warhol.
In slightly odder news,
Creed Bratton — who you may know from The Office, where he also went by "Creed" —will present a night of music and comedy at the
Hard Rock Cafe on Nov. 14 ($15-250, on sale Friday). Bratton was actually a musician before he was an actor (in the 1960s he was a member of the band The Grass Roots), so its actually not quite as strange as it sounds.
Iron Butterfly will play "In Da Gadda Da Vita" (i assume) at
Altar Bar on Dec. 12 ($23-25, on sale Saturday). Also at Altar Bar:
Lil Debbie on Nov. 4 ($18-20, on sale now);
Brain Fallon and the Crowes Jan. 12 ($22-25, on sale Friday); and
Killing Joke on Feb. 17, 2016 ($20-100, on sale now).
And a few more things:
John Mark Nelson comes to the
Smiling Moose on Oct. 28 ($10, on sale now).
Mike Why & Brian Fitzy will be at
Club Cafe on Nov. 25 ($10-15, on sale Friday)
The Werks play at the Rex on Nov. 27 ($12-15, on sale now).
And
Holly Bowling plays the music of Phish at the
Pittsburgh Winery on Nov. 12 ($15, on sale now).
