You may easily recognize Helena Espvall as part of the ethereal psychedelic folk outfit Espers but beyond that the multi-talented cellist and guitarist has played in several other bands such as Fursaxa, and has even contributed to silent movie orchestras and Arabian music ensembles. Her worldly music may very well have the potential to shuttle you across the universe, and seeing her perform in an artistic and intimate setting such as Highwire Gallery tonight could help you achieve a higher state of being. Joining Espvall tonight will be another exceptional multi-instrumentalist in Jesse Sparhawk. Sparhawk is versed in the mastery of guitar, harp and mandolin, and along with his solo work, he has contributed alongside the likes of Fern Knight and Eric Carbonara. Highwire Gallery, 2040 Frankford Ave., 8pm, $5, All Ages – Bill McThrill
