There are those moments when as individuals we choose to bathe in the comfort of sadness. Tonight at Ortlieb’s, Mark Lanky allows you to wade into that melancholy pool, soaking up those unpleasant feelings and temporarily placing them out in the open. It’s draped in acoustic guitar, and delivered in that serious baritone. Lanky sets the stage for Eddie Spaghetti (of The Supersuckers), whose brand of amusing slacker rock anthems have countrified footprints in a crisp yet explosively relatable manner. Plenty of weed and whiskey will be consumed this evening. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. Third St., $12, 9pm, 21+ (Image by Ryan Shafer) – Michael Colavita
