If you’re looking for a worthwhile concert tonight but you’re hesitant to commit to just one genre for the evening, head to Boot & Saddle for The Lawsuits, who play effortlessly through blues, country, pop, and even reggae. On their debut release Cool Cool Cool, the fivesome proved that they could master any of these genres while simultaneously creating a distinct dreamlike and misty quality to the album that they have carried over and built upon the four tracks on Tumbled, their latest EP. Their sound weighs heavily on the combo of Vanessa Winters and Brian Dale Allen Strouse’s vocals, which are admirable in their own right, always seeming to meld deliciously at all the points, and they’re mastery of American storytelling. Together, they’ll make you feel like you’re driving down the highway with the top down, circa, say, 1969. That nostalgic sound, combined with bouncy, bright jams like “Arts and Crafts” will make you feel some sunshine, even in funeral Philly winter weather. Bonus: they’re making all of their music online available for free download until the show so you can brush up before the concert. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $12, 21+ – Emily DiCicco
