Before going into hibernation to work on a new record, Roof Doctor headlines the lineup at Bourbon & Branch this evening. With a new configuration, sans saxophone, the band will certainly sound different; however, what remains are truly revealing songs that play like a combination of open diary/internal observations. Those personal snapshots exposed over a loose surf-rocking backdrop, endear in a relatable head-clearing exercise, catching a spectrum of regrets, hopes and dreams along the way. Cherokee Red sweeps you up in the comforting breeze of their daydreaming folk-pop amalgamation. With cozy floating melodies and warm inviting vocals, it will seem natural to drift right along with them. The genre-blurring, vocal-driven rock of Those People will energetically open the night.
