Cuddle Magic Loves You at JB’s Oct. 5

The name Cuddle Magic should already hint to you what you’ll be in for this evening, as their airy tunes will warmly hug you with delicate arms of experimental folk-pop. You can probably guess that it’s a love fest when the Brooklyn/Philly outfit comes together under one roof. The twelve (sometimes plus) musicians (and their three foot plastic penguin buddy) will be starting their Fall Northeast U.S. Tour at JB’s tonight. It must be close quarters on the road, but I have a feeling that these ladies and gents don’t mind. They’ll be opening for Anti- Records’ Lost In The Trees. Below is a video of a stripped-down live performance of “Expectations” from their latest album Pictures on FYO Records – talk about bedroom recordings. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
