As far as the folky side of the music spectrum goes, On the Water is easily one of my favorite bands in Philly. Their songs have that beautiful dichotomy and balance of shadow and light, sorrow and joy, which captivates minds and stirs emotions. Wanna be moved and excited about music again? Soak it all in at PhilaMOCA tonight before they hit the road for a month-long tour. On the Water will be opening for Boston’s Mornin’ Old Sport. You can thank me later. PhilaMOCA, 541 12th St., 8pm, $7 – $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
