The Spinning Leaves Whirl into JB’s April 2

Since Barbara Gettes and Michael Baker first met in 2006, they’ve crafted a sound that can seamlessly be sewn into the proud tradition of American music which they’d humbly give credit to the assortment of 50+ musicians that they have worked with on their recordings. But at the forefront, you’ll find Michael the Baker’s heartfelt achy rasp and B the Leaf’s charming lilt playfully circling each other. However, they are excited about performing at Johnny Brenda’s tonight with their full band. Also on the bill with The Spinning Leaves are Oso, whose debut The Bellringer was one of my local faves last year. They’re already preparing to release a second album. Newly added to the lineup are Toy Soldiers who will surely have their army of Temple boppers hitting the dance floor. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ myspace.com/thespinningleavesH.M. Kauffman
