If you’re feeling depressed, Mark Lanky’s music might sound like an old friend who knows just how you feel, or it might serve as the catalyst that pushes you over the edge. Either way, his earnest, baritone vocals and realist lyrics will stir up something inside you. He’ll be a lone man with his acoustic guitar vulnerably on stage tonight at Ortlieb’s opening for Whitey Morgan and The 78’s. Come experience how Lanky will make you feel! Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 8pm, $10, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
