SUMMARY:BEN NICHOLS and TIM BARRY
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 22 Ben Nichols (Lucero) & Tim Barry with Cory
  Branan at Grog ShopDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PMALL AGES$25 advance / $30 day of
  show+ $3 at the door if under 21BEN NICHOLSSinger\, songwriter\, and guit
 arist Ben Nichols is the frontman for the Memphis alt-country band Lucero.
  Lucero formed in the late 90s and the band has released a half-dozen or s
 o albums since 2001\, each drawing praise for the groups gritty\, rootsy\,
  and almost punk approach to country-rock and for Nichols smoky\, emotiona
 l vocal style. During breaks from Lucero\, Nichols began recording more ac
 oustic-based material\, and an EP featuring a stripped-down trio of Nichol
 s on acoustic guitar\, Rick Steff (Cat Power) on accordion and piano\, and
  Todd Beene (Glossary) on pedal steel and electric guitar appeared under N
 ichols name in 2009 from Liberty s seven songs are all based on characters
  and situations drawn from Cormac McCarthys novel Blood Meridian.TIM BARRY
 And so begins Aint Much For Talking\, the opening salvo on Tim Barrys late
 st album\, Spring Hill. In a fashion that can only be called perfectly Tim
  Barry\, the line carries with it some rather immense weight and rather el
 oquently and succinctly sets the table for whats in store\, both on the re
 mainder of the song and on the album as a whole. If youre expecting a bake
 rs dozen tales of introspection and honest reflection and occasional point
 ed-tongued humor and a handful of lines thatll punch you right square in t
 he solar plexus\, youve come to the right place. Its been just about three
  years since Barrys last studio album\, The Roads To Richmond\, a span tha
 t pretty nearly matches the longest break between albums in a solo career 
 thats now closer to the end of its second decade than it is to its start. 
 And while its fair to say that the years since The Roads To Richmond have 
 seen the world-at-large continue to unravel in ways that are as varied as 
 they are tumultuous\, much of that turmoil is absent from Spring Hill. Ins
 tead\, what follows\, both on the remainder of Aint Much For Talking and o
 n Spring Hill as a whole\, as a real and thorough examination of where Tim
 s been\, a little of where hes headed\, and perhaps most importantly\, whe
 re all of the many hard-earned miles on the above-mentioned tires have bro
 ught him to right now. + $3 AT DOOR IF UNDER 21
