The sticky, sweet voice of Hilary White can come from nowhere other than the deep south. Originally from Georgia, Lion Versus brings southern charm to Philly in the most unexpected of ways. The artfully crafted acoustic waves that lap on to the shore behind White’s soulful vocals are simple enough to allow the beautiful lyrics to enjoy the spotlight. The soft sounds of Lion Versus are a welcome adversary to some of the more adrenalin- fueled bands we’re used to. Let’s just say that we’re lucky Lion Versus crossed the Mason Dixon line and ended up in Philly. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave, 9pm, $7, 21+ myspace.com/lionversus – Meaghan McCafferty
