The somberly sincere Mark Lanky steps into Kung Fu Necktie this evening. Embracing the melancholy aftermath, Lanky’s deep, bellowing vocals achingly echo, orchestrating a cavernous, isolating sound that resonates in reverberation. Sinking into the shaded depths, he holds you in the haunting observational narratives, freezing one in his time. Tonight, Lanky will be joined by Cardinal Arms, the solo moniker of singer/songwriter Bevan McShea, whose introspective, searching lyrical style reveals personal tidbits, while projecting onto the listener/audience. Traveling troubadour Joshua Adair taps into his experiences completing this acoustic triad. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – Michael Colavita
