Pokey LaFarge, W.B. Givens @ Mercy Lounge, 12/6

Nothing can trump the dark and surly romps that Legendary Shack Shakers were dishing out at Mercy last Saturday, but there’s a great lineup nonetheless of grassroots troubadours tomorrow night. Local Lance Whalen has a dark but evocative singer/songwriter brand, and fellow Nashvillian W.B. Givens mashes the blues of his Mississippi homeland with the bluegrass of Appalachia. Both are opening for Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three, who blew into Nashville from St. Louis with an old-timey hodgepodge of ragtime, jazz and western swing. We wouldn’t recommend Americana singer/songwriter types if they were just dime-a-dozen. $10 at 8 p.m.
