On this chilly night, the folksy boys-next-door Hoots and Hellmouth make their way to Johnny Brenda’s once again, after a sold-out show that night, to shake the floor with their stomping acoustic soul food. Listening to the group, you’d think you’d heard them before; they have a friendly feel that reminds you of sitting around the bonfire with your friends or your small town. The band recently shared two new tracks, “Off to Sea” and “Repeat Myself,” their first releases since 2012’s Salt. Opening the night will be the longstanding side project of mewithoutYou bassist Greg Jehanian, Geology. His homemade albums culminating in his most recent EP North, with its sweet, sentimental lyrics as a testament to his strength as a songwriter (not to mention his musicianship, considering he recorded everything himself). Stop by if you are looking for some warmth on this cold evening. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $15, 21+ – Maggie Grabmeier
