Folk You Philly Presents Takeover Showcase Part IV at The Fire Nov. 18

With three successful takeovers already under his wing, Mike Baurer of Folk You Philly has decided to do something a little different for his fourth. And that’s why while three eclectic acts are set to perform at The Fire later tonight, Baurer and Jonas Oesterle of The Teeth, Flashy Python, and Purples fame will be hosting a live podcast featuring The Spinning Leaves, Toy Soldiers’ Ron Gallo, Up The Chain’s Reed Kendall, and Levee Driver’s August Lutz. Levee Drivers will also be headlining the showcase later that evening and will likely be previewing some of the new material that they’ve been laying out in the studio of late (which is about time). If you attended our Halloween Partay at PhilaMOCA, then you might remember Thom McCarthy for crooning the crowd with his best Elvis Presley impersonation. But the artist’s acoustic Americana roots music is equally impressive and should not be missed. The lineup will be rounded out by the psychedelic rock of Satellite Hearts, who will also be playing an early show at the M Room tomorrow with Park the Van’s Brass Bed, and The Districts. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 8:30pm, $7, 21+ – Bill McThrill
