Busses Opening for Exit Verse at Boot & Saddle Dec. 10

Comfortingly expansive tones, the trio Busses have a manner of incrementally layering tunes in a way that leaves listeners at a new destination by song’s end. The transitional transporting process is easy to get wrapped up in, creating dynamic layers intermingling clairvoyant vocals with groove sustaining instrumentation that is cohesive while still demonstrating an undomesticated edge. Tonight, the group, whose sophomore album, Wizard of the Eye, is due out February 17th of next year, performs in the middle slot at Boot & Saddle. Myrrias, combining the forces of Mikele Edwards (Arc in Round), April Harkanson (Downtown Club), Emily Robb (Lantern), and Casey Bell (Break It Up), open the evening dishing out a grey-clouded atmosphere of on-the-go, in-your-head rockers, eliciting the duality of dreary daydreams. The show is headlined by Chicago-based Geoff Farina-led trio Exit Verse, whose self-titled album released last month, is guitar rock with a casual-friendly sensibility. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
