There is just something so beautiful and poetic about the music of Hello Shark that instantly made me a big fan. I guess with such a quirky, original way of telling a story and that earnest, deadpan vocal delivery, reminding of my spirit animal David Byrne, it’s not hard to understand the attraction. Frontman Linc Halloran is an artist that deserves to be discovered by the masses. You can hear why this evening at Johnny Brenda’s when Hello Shark opens for indie-folk outfit Weyes Blood (Mexican Summer) and Little Wings, a.k.a. Kyle Field (Beat Happening, Devendra Banhardt, M Ward, etc.). Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
