Johnny Brenda’s hosts the record release of Marc Silver’s newest solo album A Miner’s Town. Silver delivers earnest tales that take listeners on a heartfelt and painstaking journey exposing semi-fictional hardships in a way that seems deeply personal and in that same vein authentic. It’s a melting pot of traditional folk and storytelling country blues that hits a nerve and catches fire. Pete Donnelly & the Wise Easy (member of NRBQ and The Figgs) will be in support playing an easygoing silky version of mod-pop that has a certain gravitational pull in an instantly infectious kind of way. Ross Bellenoit, known for his fine guitar work with numerous local acts throughout the Philly music community like Amos Lee and Divers, rounds out the evening as the axe master/songwriter brings out a pop/folk/blues combo platter with his own band that will include Carl Cheeseman, Sonja Sofya and Todd Erk.
