The Extraordinaires – Just What the Doctor Ordered at The Pharmacy March 18

Sometimes making a run to the Pharmacy mid-week can be just what the doctor ordered; such is the case this evening. The Extraordinaires open the show with their patented concoction of horn-laced folky pop. Grabbing a piece of lively nostalgia and offering an updated and at times, quirky augmentation, the band delivers precise compositions with an ever-inviting casually loose feel. That measured layered atmosphere utilizes natural harmonies and an array of instrumentation to create warm breezy invigorating tunes that stick to you as you wander through the reawakened outdoors. A pair of Massachusetts outfits will join in on the fun. The genre-spanning, jazz-infused folk of Mal Devisa pulls you in close, while the space-y, lo-fi rock of Wydyde, a.k.a. Van Kolodin, sets you comfortably adrift. The experimental multimedia musical discovery of Indira Valey, a.k.a. Valerie Perczek, completes the evening as she invites you into her sonic laboratory.
