As a small kick-off to Outside Lands music festival this weekend, local bands Goodnight, Texas, Fox and Woman, and Vandella are coming together at Cafe Du Nord tonight, for a night of folk, sing-a-long 50’s style tunes, and harmonized country music! Goodnight, Texas is finishing up their North American tour which features select dates with The Avett Brothers. They have a folk ballad sound that contains a solid and catchy, rhythmic beat that will have your head softly bobbing to the sound of their lyric and acoustic focused music. Vandella has a more 50s type sound, bringing doo-wop ballads, classic rock n’ roll guitar with a modern vocal addition to top it off. Fox and Woman, who even features some classic country fiddling in the middle of their songs, fits this authentic country folk based line-up and brings a different twist to it simultaneously. – Victor Casillas Valle
