Recent Chicago transplant from Brooklyn, singer-songwriter Randi Russo will rock it solo at Uncommon Ground (Clark St. location) on Friday, September 21st. The Village Voice has described her guitar-playing as, "sweet when it needs to be, but nasty in all the right places," and she’s been know to dish out some "honest and provocative lyrics" (The Big Takeover). RIYL: PJ Harvey, Patti Smith and VU/Lou Reed. Sharing the bill with her will be Ty Maxon, whose music is a cross between Jose Gonzalez, Nick Drake, and Paul Simon. Go to Tyson’s bandcamp and Randi’s bandcamp to listen to their music. Show starts at 10pm. $7 cover.
